Lateral multijunction photovoltaic cells [PDF]
Semiconductor Physics Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics, 2013 In this work, features of solar cells of lateral type were analyzed. The authors offered a design of a monolithic compact solar module with cells electrically connected in series and with a dispersion element (holographic grating). Simulation of a multistage converter was carried out.

Formation and destabilization of Ga interstitials in GaAsN: Experiment and theory [PDF]
, 2012 Using first-principles total energy calculations we have found complex defects induced by N incorporation in GaAsN. The formation energy of the Ga interstitial atom is very significantly decreased due to local effects within the defect complex.
