Abstract

Silver nanowire films are a newly introduced choice for transparent electrodes in thin film solar cells. Simulation is an adequate and economic method to analyse and predict the optical properties of these films. We simulate the optical behavior of such films by solving Maxwell equations. The simulation technique is a finite integration technique (FIT) combined with a time harmonic inverse iteration method (THIIM) to handle the negative permittivity of silver. Parallel computation on high performance computers(HPC) is used to meet the large computational requirement of the problem. In agreement to preliminary experimental results, the simulation results show that transmission of light is larger than expected by a simple ray-tracing model. © 2012 SPIE.
