Engineering360: "A Solar Cell of a Different Stripe"

This is not the first observation of spontaneously forming ordered structures by inanimate materials, although it is highly relevant to further improvements in all classes of PV materials.

The next question should focus on tuning the strips of polarization to to the point they might act as optical waveguides. One of the major losses of efficiency is re-radiation of secondary photons according to the equations that describe produced charge carrier density and lifetime.
