Paper Abstract
The vertically aligned Silicon nanowires are fabricated with optimized dimensions for energy applications. These nanowires are single crystalline with nanoscale diameter and micro scale length. These nanowires are fabricated in arrays for ultra wide band of absorption over all the visible domain. Unlike bulk silicon, the experimental measurements of these nanowires demonstrate maximum light absorption over ultra wide range of incident angles. Hence, these nanowires are considered as excellent candidate for cheap energy harvesting without antireflection coatings. Our experimental measurements have been also verified through electromagnetic simulations using finite difference time domain simulations.
