摘要：
We develop a COMSOL Multiphysics-based model and application, or "app", for time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements in thin-film solar cells. TRPL is commonly used to measure recombination in thin-film solar cells. However, simulations show that decay times extracted from TRPL data are not, in general, equal to the Shockley-Read-Hall lifetime parameter set in the model. Here, we present a model and app, using graded CdSeyTe1-y solar cells as an example, that can be used to study impacts of a range of potentially important material and measurement parameters on TRPL results.
