Conference Proceeding
Bosson, C., Birch, M., Halliday, D., Knight, K., Tang, C., Kleppe, A., & Hatton, P. (2016). Crystal structure and cation disorder in bulk Cu2ZnSnS4 using neutron diffraction and X-ray anomalous scattering. In 2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) : Portland, OR, 5-10 June 2016 ; proceedings (0405-0410). https://doi.org/10.1109/pvsc.2016.7749621

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a promising material for the absorber layer in sustainable thin film photovoltaic cells, but its best efficiencies are currently limited by low open-circuit voltages, thought to be due to defects such as disorder between the coppe...

Analysis of CdCl2 annealing process in CdTe/CdS solar cells (2000)
Conference Proceeding
Potter, M., Halliday, D., Cousins, M., Scheer, H., McNelis, B., Palz, W., …Helm, P. (2000). Analysis of CdCl2 annealing process in CdTe/CdS solar cells.

A series of CdTe/CdS solar cells are subjected to CdCl2 anneals of varying lengths and then chemically bevelled and analysed by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Half of the samples were subjected to a physical polishing using 0.25 m diamond paste... Read More about Analysis of CdCl2 annealing process in CdTe/CdS solar cells.
