Abstract
Simulations of Al<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>As/GaAs (x = 0.3) and Al<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>As/Al<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>As (x < 0.2) tunnel junction J-V characteristics are studied for integration into a 2D metamorphic multi-junction solar cell model composed of GaInP/GaAs/InGaAs. A comparison of the simulated solar cell J-V characteristics under AM1.5D spectrum is discussed in terms of short circuit current density (J<sub>sc</sub>), open circuit voltage (V<sub>OC</sub>), fill factor (FF) and efficiency (η) for both tunnel junction designs. Using Al<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>As/GaAs top and bottom tunnel junctions, the metamorphic solar cell obtained values of J<sub>sc</sub> = 12.3 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>, V<sub>OC</sub> = 2.56 V, FF = 0.81 and η = 25.5%, whereas the solar cell with the Al<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>As/Al<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>As top and bottom tunnel junctions reported values of J<sub>sc</sub> = 12.3 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>, V<sub>OC</sub> = 2.22 V, FF = 0.81 and η = 22.1%. At open circuit voltage, energy band diagrams show minimal curvature in the electron and hole quasi Fermi levels; furthermore, the difference between the top sub-cell electron quasi Fermi level and the bottom sub-cell hole quasi Fermi level is shown to be equal to qV<sub>OC</sub> for both designs. The energy band diagram of the complete structure is compared for both tunnel junction designs, showing the difference in energy levels that correspond to the difference in measured open circuit voltage. The observed decrease in open circuit voltage was ΔV<sub>OC</sub> = 0.34 V, which was attributed to the difference in tunnel junction material band parameters such as bandgap, valence and conduction band offsets at heterojunctions and Fermi level degeneracies due to doping concentration differences.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
