Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) with their band gap energies around 1.45 eV and 1.0 eV, respectively, can be used as the absorber layer in thin film solar cells. By using a mixture of both compounds, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe), a band gap tuning may be possible. The latter material has already shown promising results such as solar cell efficiencies up to 10.1%. In this work, CZTSSe thin films were grown in...
In this work, we investigated structural, morphological, electrical, and optical properties from a set of Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films grown by sulfurization of metallic precursors deposited on soda lime glass substrates coated with or without molybdenum. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements revealed the formation of single-phase Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films. A good crystallinity and grain compactness of the f...
Cu2ZnSnS4 is a promising semiconductor to be used as absorber in thin film solar cells. In this work, we investigated optical and structural properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films grown by sulphurization of metallic precursors deposited on soda lime glass substrates. The crystalline phases were studied by X-ray diffraction measurements showing the presence of only the Cu2ZnSnS4 phase. The studied films were copper ...
Coherent emission efficiency in a 100Å GaAs SQW microcavity was enhanced one order when pumped resonantly at 10 K, compared to the off-resonant excitation. The usual kink observed in the exciton emission linewidth as well as in the emission intensity in relation to the pump power, changes smoothly instead of the usual abrupt kink observed in the off-resonant microcavity laser. In addition, polarization measurem...
We discuss how resonance micro-Raman spectroscopy can determine the electronic and structural properties of individual isolated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) that can be further used for potential nanodevices or studied by different experimental techniques. We show that it is possible to mark the surface of the Si/SiO2 substrate for localization of the isolated SWNTs by using a diamond tip. By timing the...
