Plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) of thin films such as amorphous silicon has widespread applications especially in the field of photovoltaic solar cells and thin-film transistors for flat screen production. Industrial applications require ...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a material that belongs to the family of Transparent Conductives Oxides (TCO). Its non-toxicity and the abundant availability in the Earth's crust of its components make it an ideal candidate as electrical transparent contact for thin-f ...
The microstructure and open-circuit voltage of n-i-p microcrystalline silicon solar cells were discussed. A mixed phase layer consisting of amorphous plus microcrystalline material was observed at the bottom of the solar cell and identified as one of the k ...
A method for anchoring unsym. phthalocyaninato-metal complexes (metal ion: zinc and ruthenium) is described. The synthesis and characterization of these complexes, ZnL and Ru(4-picoline)2L (H2L = 2,3-bis(carboxyphenoxy)-9,10,16,17,23,24-hexakis(pentoxy)pht ...
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon prepared at low temperatures by the glow discharge technique is examined here with respect to its role as a new thin-film photovoltaic absorber material. XRD and TEM characterizations reveal that microcrystalline silic ...
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon i-layers were deposited with a fixed silane concentration on various substrates and incorporated into n-i-p solar cells. 'Average crystallinity' and detailed microstructure of layers and devices were evaluated by X-ray ...
Intrinsic microcrystalline silicon opens up new ways for silicon thin-film multi-junction solar cells, the most promising being the "micromorph" tandem concept. The microstructure of entirely microcrystalline p-i-n solar cells is investigated by transmissi ...
A method has been developed to study the mechanisms of the thiocyanato ligand exchange reactions between the redox couple I-/ I3- and the ruthenium complex bis(tetrabutylammonium) cis-bis(thiocyanato)bis(2,2'-bipyridine-4-carboxylic acid, 4'-carboxylate)ru ...
A series of nip-type microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) single-junction solar cells has been studied by electrical characterisation, by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by Raman spectroscopy using 514 and 633 nm excitation light and both top- and ...
Low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LP-CVD) ZnO as front transparent conductive oxide (TCO), developed at IMT, has excellent light-trapping properties for a-Si:H p-i-n single-junction and 'micromorph' (amorphous/microcrystalline silicon) tandem solar ...
