ABSTRACT: This work deals with minority carrier diffusion coefficient study in silicon solar cell, under both temperature and applied magnetic field. New expressions of diffusion coefficient are pointed out, which gives attention to thermal behavior of minority carrier that is better understood with Umklapp process. This study allowed to determine an optimum temperature which led to maximum diffusion coefficient value while magnetic field remained constant.
