Plasmon-loss imaging of polymer-methanofullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells (2013)
Journal Article
Mendis, B. G., Bishop, S. J., Groves, C., Szablewski, M., Berlie, A., & Halliday, D. P. (2013). Plasmon-loss imaging of polymer-methanofullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells. Applied Physics Letters, 102(25), Article 253301. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4812485

The plasmon feature in an electron energy loss spectrum provides unique insight into poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) solar cells. Analysis of the intensity, shape, and energy of the plasmon reveals informatio... Read More about Plasmon-loss imaging of polymer-methanofullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells.

Luminescence of Cu2ZnSnS4 polycrystals described by the fluctuating potential model (2013)
Journal Article
Halliday, D., Claridge, R., Goodman, M., Mendis, B., Durose, K., & Major, J. (2013). Luminescence of Cu2ZnSnS4 polycrystals described by the fluctuating potential model. Journal of Applied Physics, 113(22), Article 223503. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4810846

The growth of Cu 2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) polycrystals from solid state reaction over a range of compositions, including the regions which produce the highest efficiency photovoltaic devices, is reported. X-ray measurements confirm the growth of crystalline CZ... Read More about Luminescence of Cu2ZnSnS4 polycrystals described by the fluctuating potential model.

Microstructure and point defects in CdTe nanowires for photovoltaic applications (2013)
Journal Article
Williams, B., Halliday, D., Mendis, B., & Durose, K. (2013). Microstructure and point defects in CdTe nanowires for photovoltaic applications. Nanotechnology, 24(13), Article 135703. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/24/13/135703

Defects in Au-catalysed CdTe nanowires vapour–liquid–solid-grown on polycrystalline underlayers have been critically evaluated. Their low-temperature photoluminescence spectra were dominated by excitonic emission with rarely observed above-gap emissi...
