A comparative study of Cu-related Pasmonic effects in electrochemically nanostructured CuInSe2 and CuGaSe2 crystals

open access: yesMoldavian Journal of the Physical Sciences, 2013
We study the differences in electrochemical nanostructuring of CuInSe2 and CuGaSe2 crystals. To make the crystals suitable for electrochemical nanostructuring, they are subjected to thermal treatment either in vacuum or in Zn vapors.

Enhanced Efficiency of Light-Trapping Nanoantenna Arrays for Thin Film Solar Cells

open access: yes, 2013
We suggest a novel concept of efficient light-trapping structures for thin-film solar cells based on arrays of planar nanoantennas operating far from plasmonic resonances.

Epitaxial CuInSe2 thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy and migration enhanced epitaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
While CuInSe2 chalcopyrite materials are mainly used in their polycrystalline form to prepare thin film solar cells, epitaxial layers have been used for the characterization of defects.

Overcoming the Short‐Wave Infrared Barrier in the Photoluminescence of Amino‐As‐Based InAs Quantum Dots

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 29, October 13, 2025.
A novel reducing agent, trioctylamine‐alane (TOA‐AlH3), is reported for the synthesis of amino‐As‐based colloidal InAs quantum dots (QDs). The use of TOA‐AlH3 in an ad‐hoc seeded‐growth method with ZnCl2 as an additive delivers InAs QDs with narrow size distributions and excitonic absorption extending up to 1300 nm. ZnSe shelling leads to InAs@ZnSe QDs

Progress in Polycrystalline Thin-Film Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Photoenergy, 2010
For some time, the chalcopyrite semiconductor CuInSe2 and its alloy with Ga and/or S [Cu(InGa)Se2 or Cu(InGa)(Se,S)2], commonly referred as CIGS, have been leading thin-film material candidates for incorporation in high-efficiency photovoltaic devices ...

Cation- and vacancy-ordering in Li_xCoO_2

open access: yes, 1998
Using a combination of first-principles total energies, a cluster expansion technique, and Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied the Li/Co ordering in LiCoO_2 and Li-vacancy/Co ordering in CoO_2.

Swarm‐Optimized ZnO/CdS/CIGS/GaAs Solar Cell for Enhanced Efficiency and Thermal Resilience

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2025.
This article addresses the problem of optimizing the efficiency and thermal resilience of ZnO/CdS/CIGS solar cells, which are promising but still face challenges in maximizing performance under high‐temperature conditions and concentrated sunlight. The main issue is enhancing the efficiency of these cells while also ensuring that they can withstand the

Template based precursor route for the synthesis of CuInSe2 nanorod arrays for potential solar cell applications

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2013
Polycrystalline CuInSe2 (CISe) nanorods are promising for the fabrication of highly efficient active layers in solar cells. In this work we report on a nanocasting approach, which uses track-etched polycarbonate films as hard templates for obtaining ...

Modelling thin film solar cells with graded band gap [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper discusses how graded absorber structures in CIGS-based solar cell can be studied using the numerical simulation tool SCAPS. A model will be built for an AVANCIS solar cell with double grading which is produced with the laboratory line process.
