Abstract: High Refractive Index Dielectric (HRID) nanoparticles have shown to be an alternative to metallic ones. Here, we analyze the possibility of using them for improving the performance of thin film solar cells by studying their Scattering Directionality Conditions (SDCs) as a function of their shape. We demonstrate that cylinders and cubes are the most promising geometries for redirecting the incident radiation into the photosensitive substrate.
