| - | Two different models were constructed as shown on the right image. They always consist of several materials (TCO that was handled as ITO, amorphous silicon, crystalline silicon that was treated as Si 100 and eventually also a Sn nanoparticle on the top of the NW that was treated as perfect electric conductor). In model "A" a periodic array of structured is created using single NW/aSi/ITO column and periodic boundary conditions. This can be used to evaluate effect of column spacing films thicknesses, length or tilt on resulting structure performance. In model "B" 3x3 differently tilted columns are used as basic building block for periodic array construction. This is useful to estimate effects of random column orientation. In principle this could be expanded up to 7x7 array basic building block, however for even larger building blocks the computation would be too long and memory demanding. | + | Two different models were constructed as shown on the left image.

| All the optical data were taken from SOPRA database. Structure was illuminated from top or from bottom by a linearly polarised plane wave. Glass at the bottom of the structure was treated as infinitely extending. Voxel spacing was 7 nm. | All the optical data were taken from SOPRA database.

All these parameters can be changed and were considered only as initial values, a bit smaller than ideal values, to speed up the first test calculations. | Bottom ITO thickness was 630 nm.
