The cluster-shaped plasmonic nanostructures are used to manage the incident light inside an ultra-thin silicon solar cell. Here we simulate spherical, conical, pyramidal, and cylindrical nanoparticles in a form of a cluster at the rear side of a thin silicon cell, using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. By calculating the optical absorption and hence the photocurrent, it is shown that the clustering of nanoparticles significantly improves them. The photocurrent enhancement is the result of the plasmonic effects of clustering the nanoparticles. For comparison, first a cell with a single nanoparticle at the rear side is evaluated. Then four smaller nanoparticles are put around it to make a cluster. The photocurrents of 20.478 mA/cm2, 23.186 mA/cm2, 21.427 mA/cm2, and 21.243 mA/cm2 are obtained for the cells using clustering conical, spherical, pyramidal, cylindrical NPs at the backside, respectively. These values are 13.987 mA/cm2, 16.901 mA/cm2, 16.507 mA/cm2, 17.926 mA/cm2 for the cell with one conical, spherical, pyramidal, cylindrical NPs at the backside, respectively. Therefore, clustering can significantly improve the photocurrents. Finally, the distribution of the electric field and the generation rate for the proposed structures are calculated.

干旱、低温、高盐和病害等生物和非生物胁迫,严重影响了植物的生长和作物的产量。因此,系统研究植物的环境胁迫应答机制就显得非常重要。植物体内存在着很多转录因子,它们在适应环境胁迫的过程中对胁迫信号做出响应,激活胁迫诱导基因的表达,提高植物的抗逆性。拟南芥中根据DNA结合域的特点将转录因子分成若干个家族,如AP2/EREBP,,MYB,WRKY,bZIP等,这些转录因子在植物的胁迫响应过程中发挥着重要的
