The performance of CdTe solar cells can be very sensitive to the emitter/absorber interface,
especially for high-efficiency cells with high bulk lifetime. Performance losses from acceptor …

Here we review a systematic study of the structure-property correlations of a series of defects
in CdTe solar cells. A variety of experimental methods, including aberration-corrected …

Simulation of gallium arsenide-based Cu/TiO 2/GaAs/CdTe/Pt quantum dot solar cell using
Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator-1D (SCAPS-1D) version 3.3. 09 has been presented in …

A solar cell is technically known as a photovoltaic device which converts light energy into an
electric energy by the phenomenon called photovoltaic effect. Solar cells produce …

The CdTe valence-band maximum (VBM) at 5.8 eV below the vacuum level is mismatched
with potential contacting metals such as Ni (work function~ 5.2 eV) for the p-type CdTe …

This chapter focuses on providing a systematic analysis of the far-infrared (FIR) reflectivity/
transmission, Raman scattering, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and high-resolution …

CdSeTe/CdMgTe double heterostructures were produced with both n-type and
unintentionally doped absorber layers. Measurements of the dependence of …

Thin film photovoltaic solar cells have been identified as an alternative solution for the
fabrication of cost effective solar cells in future. Highly efficient thin-film solar cells can be …

Six CdTe thin epifilms were prepared by using molecular beam epitaxy on ion beam
cleaned InSb (001) substrates with T sub temperatures ranging from 25 to 250 C. Thickness …

CdTe thin-film solar cells are one of the major interests in the solar industry for their
favorable properties. For example, CdTe has a near-ideal bandgap (1.45 eV) for absorption …
