A series of cadmium telluride crystals grown by physical vapour transport without contact with the ampoule walls and cooled at different rates were characterized using synchrotron X-ray topography, photoluminescence, and chemical etching. Strain from... Read More about The effect of the wall contact and post-growth cool-down on defects in CdTe crystals grown by 'contactless' physical vapour transport.

Photoluminescence studies of CdS/CdTe solar cells treated with oxygen (2003)
Journal Article
Hernandez-Fenollosa, M., Halliday, D., Durose, K., Campo, M., & Beier, J. (2003). Photoluminescence studies of CdS/CdTe solar cells treated with oxygen. Thin Solid Films, 431, 176-180. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0040-6090%2803%2900238-4

In this work we have used low temperature photoluminescence (PL) to study a set of CdS/CdTe solar cells grown by close space sublimation. The samples were given a post-growth treatment at 390 °C with HCl in a varying partial pressure of oxygen of up...
