Abstract
A flexible thin-film silicon solar cell with power conversion efficiency approaching 30% would be a game-changer for the photovoltaics industry. This dream has been considered unattainable, though, due to Si's indirect band gap. Also, silicon solar cells are typically thick, inflexible, and limited in efficiency by nonradiative charge-carrier losses in the large bulk volume of the cell. This research demonstrates how light trapping based on wave interference in photonic crystals could raise conversion efficiency to ~28%, over a large wavelength range of 300---1100 nm. This would set a new record for silicon-based photovoltaic technology.

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
