Using first-principles density functional calculations, we investigate the structure and
properties of three different grain boundaries (GBs) in the solar absorber material CdTe …

Recently, CdTe-based solar cells have achieved high power conversion efficiency by
alloying with CdSe. Besides the increased photocurrent due to the reduced bandgap, it is …

Using first-principles density functional calculations, we investigate the relative stability and
electronic structure of the grain boundaries (GBs) in zinc-blende CdTe. Among the low-Σ …

The growth dynamics and evolution of intrinsic stacking faults, lamellar, and double
positioning twin grain boundaries were explored using molecular dynamics simulations …

This work shows that despite a lattice mismatch of almost 20%, CdMnTe/CdTe/CdMnTe
heterostructures grown directly on Si (111) have surprisingly good optical emission …

The development of materials is strongly related to our capability of understanding thermal,
mechanical and chemical processing on the nanoscale. Unravelling the interface structure is …

We report on the growth dynamic of CdTe thin films for deposition temperatures ($ T $) in the
range of $150\,^{\circ}\mathrm {C} $ to $300\,^{\circ}\mathrm {C} $. A relation between …

We employ first-principles density functional theory to investigate the electronic and
structural properties of grain boundaries (GBs) in InAs. In particular, we study the energetics …

The efficacy of the CdCl 2 treatment on polycrystalline CdTe-based solar cells was
discovered over a quarter of a century ago; and yet, the exact mechanism of this treatment is …

The structural properties of CdTe layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) InSb
substrates were assessed using high-resolution x-ray scattering methods. Triple-axis …
