A time-resolved microwave conductivity study of the optoelectronic processes in TiO2?In2S3?CuInS2 heterojunctions

Photoinduced interfacial charge carrier generation, separation, trapping, and recombination in TiO2?In2S3?CuInS2 cells have been studied with time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC). Single layer, double layer, and complete triple layer configurations have been studied. Selective electronic excitation in one of the components is accomplished...

A parametric study of TiO2/CuInS2 nanocomposite solar cells: How cell thickness, buffer layer thickness, and TiO2 particle size affect performance

Process for the production of thin layers, preferably for a photovoltaic cell

The invention is directed to a process for the production of a thin layer, preferably for a photovoltaic cell, which cell has at least a first contact layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, an n-type semiconductor layer, or a combined p-type/n-type semiconductor layer, and a second contact layer, said process comprising applying the layer or the...

Deep-level transient spectroscopy of TiO2/CuInS2 heterojunctions

Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) has been used to measure the concentration and energy position of deep electronic states in CuInS2. Flat TiO2?CuInS2 heterojunctions as well as TiO2-CuInS2 nanocomposites have been investigated. Subband-gap electronic states in CuInS2 films are mostly due to antisite point defects and vacancies....
