Intermediate band photovoltaics in solar cell research provides methods for exceeding the Shockley–Queisser limit on the efficiency of a cell. It introduces an intermediate band (IB) energy level in between the valence and conduction bands. Theoretically, introducing an IB allows two photons with energy less than the bandgap to excite an electron from the valence band to the conduction band.
Intermediate band semiconductor photovoltaic solar cell
The invention relates to a solar cell containing a semiconductor (1) with an intermediate band (2) that is half filled with electrons, located between two layers of ordinary n type (3) and p type (4) semiconductors. When lighted, electron-hole pairs are formed either by a photon that absorbs the necessary energy (5) or by two photons (6,7) that absorb less energy which pump an electron from the valence band to the intermediate band (8) and from the latter to the conductance band (9). An electrical current is generated that exits on the p side and returns via the n side. The n and p layers also prevent the intermediate band from contacting the outer metal connections, which would have resulted in a short-circuit. Said cell converts solar energy into electricity in a more efficient manner than conventional cells and contributes to improvement of the photovoltaic devices.

Quantum dot intermediate band infrared photodetector
An infrared photodetector containing a region of semiconductor quantum dots (1), n type doped in the barrier region (2), and sandwiched between respective layers of semiconductors of n type (3) and p type (4). When infrared photons (5) are absorbed, they create electronic transitions (6) from the confined states in the dots (7) to the conduction band (8). This causes the appearance of a voltage between device p (9) and n (10) contacts or the production of an electrical current. In either way, the detection of the infrared light is possible. A low band-pass filter (12) prevents high energy photons (13) from entering the device and causing electronic transitions (14) from the valence (15) band to the conduction band (8).

Low-pass filter multi-scale full waveform inversion method of cut-off time window
InactiveCN106054244AIncrease the lengthImprove stabilitySeismic signal processingTime domainModel testing
The invention relates to a low-pass filter multi-scale full waveform inversion method of a cut-off time window. The method comprises the steps of firstly, in a low band, performing full waveform inversion using a cut-off time window inversion strategy to obtain an inversion result serving as an initial model for intermediate band inversion; and then performing full waveform inversion of a conventional time domain using the intermediate band inversion result as an initial model to obtain a final inversion result. The cut-off time window inversion strategy saves a lot forward time. The low-pass filter multi-scale inversion strategy can divide seismic data to different bands for inversion. A good inversion result can be obtained by using the cut-off time window and the low-pass filter together under the condition of low frequency deficiency and strong Gaussian noise interference. Model test results show that the combined strategy relieves a cycle-slip phenomenon while improving the calculation efficiency, and the low-pass filter multi-scale full waveform inversion method of the cut-off time window is superior to the full waveform inversion of the conventional time domain on the aspects of inversion precision, calculation efficiency, low-frequency dependency, anti-noise capability and the like.
