The electronic defects in any semiconductor play a decisive role for the usability of this
material in an optoelectronic device. Electronic defects determine the doping level as well as …

The conduction type of semiconductors is vitally important in many fields (eg, photovoltaics,
transistors, and thermoelectrics), but so far, there is no effective and simple indicator to …

We have studied the energetics, atomic, and electronic structure of Na and K point defects,
as well as the (Na–Na),(K–K), and (Na–K) dumbbells in CuInSe2 and CuIn5Se8 solar cell …

We have performed a first-principles study of the p-and n-type conductivity in CuIn1−
xGaxSe2 due to native point defects, based on the HSE06 hybrid functional. Band alignment …

The surface composition of Cu (In, Ga)(S, Se) 2 (“CIGSSe”) thin films intrinsically deviates
from the corresponding bulk composition, which also modifies the electronic structure and …

Abstract Copper (Cu)‐based thermoelectric (TE) materials have attracted great attention
from both scientific and industrial societies, but for a long time, their real applications are …

Motivated by environmental reasons, In 2 S 3 is a promising candidate for a Cd-free buffer
layer in Cu (In, Ga)(S, Se) 2 (CIGSSe)-based thin-film solar cells. For an impactful …

Due to its attractive optical, electrical, and chemical properties, the ternary CuInSe2 (CIS)
chalcopyrite-type semiconductor is widely employed as an absorber layer in thin-film …

Abstract 2D semiconductors are promising for future photodetectors because of their
dangling‐bond‐free surface, atomic thickness, tunable bandgap, high mobility, and flexible …

Solar cells with CuInSe 2 absorbers are among the most promising thin-film technologies,
but the role of defects is not yet understood. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations based on density …
