Nanoparticle Shape Optimization for Tamm-Plasmon-Polariton-Based Organic Solar Cells in the Visible Spectral Range

https://doi.org/10.3390/photonics9110786

The effect of the shape of the nanoparticles and the polarization of incident light on the surface current density and the efficiency of an organic solar cell based on the Tamm plasmon polariton is investigated. In the cases of both elongated and flattened nanoparticles, it is shown that the efficiency of such a solar cell is increased when the electric field vector is parallel to the largest axis of the spheroid.
