Abstract:: The materials Fe₂(Si,Ge)(S,Se)₄, Cu₃PS[subscript 4-x]Se[subscript x] (0 ≤ x ≤ 4), and Cu₃PxAs[subscript 1-x]S₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been synthesized and studied as new earth-abundant absorbers for single and multijunction photovoltaic cells as well as solar fuel generation. The synthesis, single-crystal growth, and optical and electrical properties of...

Creator:: Wills, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, the spectroscopic properties and thermodynamic stability of a class of materials known as metal oxo and hydroxo clusters are studied. In aqueous solutions, many metals can aggregate into discrete clusters of metals bridged by oxo or hydroxo ligands. These clusters are of particular interest to us for...

Creator:: Ravichandran, Ram
Abstract:: Current cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) utilize thick absorbers (2 - 4 μm). For efficient carrier extraction in these TFSCs, the absorber layer requires high carrier mobilities and a long minority carrier lifetime, which necessitates the use of a high purity, defect-free thin film....

Creator:: Spies, Jack Alexander
Abstract:: The primary objective of this thesis is to explore new absorber and p-type window layer materials for thin-film solar cell applications. A new thin-film electron beam deposition system has been installed, is now operational, and has been used to deposit several types of solar cell absorber layers. Material investigations include...
