First-principles analysis of the efficiency of photovoltaic layers for CuAu-like chalcogenides and silicon
Marnik Bercx, Nasrin Sarmadian, Rolando Saniz +2
Chalcopyrite semiconductors are of considerable interest for application as absorber layers in thin-film photovoltaic cells. When growing films of these compounds, however, they ar…
Extended homologous series of Sn-O layered systems: a first-principles study
Kirsten Govaerts, Bart Partoens, Dirk Lamoen
Apart from the most studied tin-oxide compounds, SnO and SnO2, intermediate states have been claimed to exist for more than a hundred years. In addition to the known homologous ser…
First-principles study of the optoelectronic properties and photovoltaic absorber layer efficiency of Cu-based chalcogenides
Nasrin Sarmadian, Rolando Saniz, Bart Partoens +1
Cu-based chalcogenides are promising materials for thin-film solar cells with more than 20% measured cell efficiency. Using first-principles calculations based on density functiona…
Easily doped p-type, low hole effective mass, transparent oxides
Nasrin Sarmadian, Rolando Saniz, Bart Partoens +1
Fulfillment of the promise of transparent electronics has been hindered until now largely by the lack of semiconductors that can be doped p-type in a stable way, and that at the sa…
