RESUMO
Cu2ZnSnSe4-based solar cells with 5.5% power conversion efficiency were fabricated from Cu/Sn/Zn stacks electrodeposited from liquid metal salts. These electrolytes allow metal deposition rates one order of magnitude higher than those of other deposition methods.
RESUMO
We investigate CZTSe films by polarization dependent Raman spectroscopy. The main peaks at 170 cm(-1), and 195 cm(-1) are found to have A symmetry. The Raman signal at 170 cm(-1) is found to be composed of two modes at 168 cm(-1) and 172 cm(-1). We attribute these three Raman peaks to the three A symmetry modes predicted for kesterite ordered Cu(2)ZnSnSe(4). The main Raman peak is asymmetrically broadened towards lower energies. Possible sources of the broadening are tested through temperature and depth dependent measurements. The broadening is attributed to phonon confinement effects related to the presence of lattice defects.
RESUMO
The nonlocal van der Waals density functional approach is applied to calculate the binding of graphene to Ir(111). The precise agreement of the calculated mean height h = 3.41 Å of the C atoms with their mean height h = (3.38±0.04) Å as measured by the x-ray standing wave technique provides a benchmark for the applicability of the nonlocal functional. We find bonding of graphene to Ir(111) to be due to the van der Waals interaction with an antibonding average contribution from chemical interaction. Despite its globally repulsive character, in certain areas of the large graphene moiré unit cell charge accumulation between Ir substrate and graphene C atoms is observed, signaling a weak covalent bond formation.
