Abstract
Multi-junction solar cell efficiencies far exceed those attainable with silicon photovoltaics. Recently, this technology has been applied to photonic power converters with conversion efficiencies higher than 65%. These devices operate well in part because of luminescent coupling that occurs in the multijunction device. We present modeling results to explain how this boosts device efficiencies by approximately 70 mV per junction in GaAs devices. Luminescent coupling also increases efficiency in devices with four more junctions, however, the high cost of materials remains a barrier to their widespread use. Substantial cost reduction could be achieved by replacing the germanium substrate with a less expensive alternative: silicon. Threading dislocations introduced by the lattice mismatch between silicon and other layers have a detrimental effect on performance. In this research, we seek to accommodate lattice mismatch by introducing a voided germanium interface layer on the silicon substrate to intercept dislocations and prevent them from reaching the active layers. We present simulation results exploring the effect of threading dislocations and substrate doping on device performance.

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
