Carrier concentration profile has been studied for 0.4 and 0.5 V junction voltage and for different values of carrier mobility. Finally highest external quantum efficiency of 2.413% and maximum power density of 24.13 W/m2 has been obtained for hole mobility of 1 × 10-1 (cm2/V.s) and electron mobility of 5 × 10-1 (cm2/V.s). %U https://www.ijee.net/article_64646_5b6ad7f7492243d3715ebba1db474f4e.pdf
