Abstract

Hot Carrier cells aim to tackle the carrier thermalisation loss after absorption of above band-gap photons by separating and collecting carriers before they thermalise. Such slowing of carrier cooling may be achieved by modulation of the phonon decay mechanisms in nanostructures. 1D and 3D force constant modelling of quantum dot nanostructures indicates that very small complete mini-gaps in the phonon dispersion can be achieved in reciprocal space.
