Hi everyone,

I am working with a solar cell realized with a metal-semiconductor junction. I need to find an expression for the short circuit current of this solar cell, but in the literature I have only found models for the standard case of a pn junction solar cell.
Does anyone know a text/scientific paper that contains the information I need?
