Cross-buckled structures for stretchable and compressible thin film silicon solar cells

Abstract Increasing interests in stretchable electronic devices have resulted in vigorous research activities, most of which are focused on structural configurations. Diverse structural configurations are available for stretchability, including stiff-island, serpentine, and buckled structures. With...
