In this study, CIGS ultrathin films of 52 nm, 89 nm, 183 nm and 244 nm thicknesses were
grown on a n-Si substrate using PLD technique, then Ag/CIGS/Si/Al hetero-junction solar …

In this study, Ag/CZTS/Si/Al heterojunction solar cells were produced depending on some
parameters of CZTS ultrathin active film layers grown on a n-Si wafer by PLD technique …

Textured silicon surface structures, in particular black silicon (b-Si), open up possibilities for
Si-based solar cells and photodetectors to be extremely thin and highly sensitive owing to …

Thermal evaporation is a simple and rapid method to fabricate semiconducting BaSi 2 films.
In this study, to elucidate the BaSi 2 formation mechanism, the microstructure of a BaSi 2 …

A novel preparation method of B-doped p-type BaSi2 (p-BaSi2) is proposed to realize
heterojunction crystalline Si solar cells with p-BaSi2. The method consists of thermal …

We developed an original method to measure the time-dependent vapor composition, and
applied this method to vacuum evaporation of BaSi 2 thin films at three source heating …

Epitaxial growth of BaSi 2 films on Si (111) has demonstrated that the BaSi 2 template can
serve as a seed crystal for BaSi 2 overlayers by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and shows …

We evaluated the effect of O atoms on the postannealed BaSi 2 films grown by molecular
beam epitaxy. Postannealing (PA) in an Ar atmosphere at a pressure of 1.9× 10 5 Pa …

BaSi 2, which can be grown on Si (111) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy
experimentally, holds great promise for solar-cells. Here, we report a detailed ab initio study …

Thin-film solar cell materials such as CdTe, CIGS, and organic-inorganic perovskite are
attracting increasing attention owing to their high energy conversion efficiency η. However …
