How Can I Get Help with a Comsol Simulation for Nanoparticles?

[Abrar]

TL;DR

Hi...Everyone.I would like to simulate a solar cell with nanoparticle inside it in comsol.Can anyone help me regarding this???I am not expert in comsol.So,if you can give me any link from where I can get help in this issue,it will be so much helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the PF.

Which version of COMSOL are you using? What simulations have you done so far? How long have you been using/learning COMSOL and other simulation packages?

What tutorials have you gone through at the COMSOL website so far?

Thank you for your reply.I am using comsol multiphysics 5.4.I am new at it.Not have done so much simulations yet.Have done some primary simulations like optical scattering of a gold nano sphere.Actually,it’s my thesis topic in university.The topic is about efficiency of a nanoparticle in solar cell.My professor have asked me to use comsol in this.For this, I need instruction that how can I start to simulate solar cell having a nano particle in it.

Can you say more about this? Nanoparticles where in a solar cell? What kind of solar cell? (Silicon? Some other materials?) Thanks.

Nanoparticle inside the solar cell.Like there will be different layers in the solar cell.Nano particle will be there and inhence the efficiency of the solar cell.We will use different kinds of nanoparticle like Au,Ag,Al etc and will compare between them that which one is more efficient.Then we can also chamge the absorber of the solar cell.We can use Si,GaAs and then compare between them also.That's our main idea.Thank you for your reply.

Hint for after you get thru the Comsol hurdle:
There have been a few recent articles describing using nanoparticles in perovskite solar cells.

Thank you so much for your reply.I have also gone thru several articles and papers and made an idea that what I will do in my thesis.But the problem is to use the comsol.As I am new at it,I don’tknow exactly how to design nanoparticle in a solar cell in comsol.It will be helpful for me if you can provide any link regarding this comsol simulation where I can get help in this.

Unfortunately I've never used Comsol nor know anything about it. However a Google search turned up over 200 000 finds!

Hopefully someone that has used Comsol will see this thread and jump in. With 200 000 finds we will all be old and gray looking for 'The Right One'.

Cheers,
Tom

p.s. Sounds like an interesting project, that could be a lifetime endeavor.
