Book Electrical and optical characterization of CdxZn1 xS and PbS thin films for photovoltaic applications

Download or read book Electrical and optical characterization of CdxZn1 xS and PbS thin films for photovoltaic applications written by Cliff Orori Mosiori and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Physics - Applied physics, grade: A, Kenyatta University, course: Master of Science ( Physics), language: English, abstract: In this research an n-type CdxZn1-xS and p-type PbS thin films were optimised for solar cell applications employing chemical bath deposition technique. The thin films were prepared using thiourea and nitrates of cadmium, zinc and lead. Deposition of optimised CdxZn1-xS was done by CBD at 820 C and in alkaline conditions while that of PbS was done at room temperature and both films at normal atmospheric pressure utilizing aqueous conditions. This study concentrated on optimising optical and electrical characterization of the films. Optical constant suitable for photovoltaic applications were sort for and for this purpose a UV VIS IR spectrophotometer 3700 DUV was utilised while the electrical properties were investigated using a four point probe connected to a Keithley 2400 source meter interfaced with computer. The optical band gap of the as deposited CdxZn1-xS films varied from 2.47eV (x =0.6) to 2.72 eV (x =1.0), and transmittance above 79% in the VIS - NIR region for the concentration range of x = 0.6 to 1.0, that is, the band gap increased with increasing Zn concentration of the alloy and Cd06Zn0.4S sample showed the widest band gap. It was obtained that the presence of zinc increased optical band gap. The average extinction coefficients for the as deposited CdxZn1-xS samples were very low revealing that they absorb very little radiation hence a good window layer material. As measured by the four point probe connected to a Keithley 2400 source meter, electrical resistivity increased with increase in Zn in the bath in CdxZn1-xS and a resistivity range of 9.5×101 – 1.22× 102 Ω-cm was obtained. These properties are appropriate for window layers used for photovoltaic cell applications. PbS thin films had a band gap of 0.89 eV and a transmittance of below 55% appropriate for absorber layers of photovoltaic cells and a resistivity range of 6.78 × 103 to 1.26 × 104 Ω-cm. The fabricated photovoltaic cell had a short circuit current, Isc = 0.031 A, open voltage, Voc = 0.37V, efficiency, η = 0.9% and a fill factor, FF = 0.66 implying that the two materials are appropriate for photovoltaic applications especially in the VIS and IR light spectrum.

Book Photoconductive Behavior of Lead Sulfide Films  Volume 2  Appendix IV  Photoconductivity in Chemically Deposited Lead Sulfide Layers

Download or read book Photoconductive Behavior of Lead Sulfide Films Volume 2 Appendix IV Photoconductivity in Chemically Deposited Lead Sulfide Layers written by Svein Espevik and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although chemically-deposited PbS layers have been extensively studied over the last twenty-five years, the mechanism of the photoconductivity process in such layers has not been previously understood in any reliable or complete manner. Investigation of the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity, photoconductivity, Hall coefficient, photo-Hall effect, and thermoelectric power in such layers has been used to answer many of the common questions. Three types of layers have been investigated: (1) without added chemical oxidant in the deposition bath; (2) with a standard proportion of oxidant added; and (3) with four times the standard proportion of oxidant added. Electron microscope studies show that the layers consist of grains and intergranular regions. The author predicts on the basis of this work, that it should be possible in principle to prepare highly photosensitive PbS single crystal detectors.

Book Photoconductive Behavior of Lead Sulfide Films

Download or read book Photoconductive Behavior of Lead Sulfide Films written by Donald K. Smith and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The structure, chemical composition, and photoelectronic properties of chemically deposited PbS films have been investigated in relationship to variation in the concentration of oxidant used in the deposition. Structure and photoelectronic properties in the PbS film change as the concentration of oxidant is varied. Concomitant variations in the average chemical composition of the films are minor. It was found that the dependence of carrier density and mobility on temperature is divided into low and high temperature regions with distinct activation energies. The principal effect of photoexcitation is to increase the carrier density. Films produced without the use of oxidants are relatively insensitive. The primary electronic properties of PbS films may be described in terms of sensitizing centers located 0.23 eV below the conduction band, and in terms of intergrain barriers which limit the effective mobility. The intergrain barriers play no essential role in the photoconductive process. PbS films deposited from baths containing no oxidant lack the sensitizing centers.

Book Characterization of CdxZn1 xS and PbS Thin Films for Photovoltaics

Download or read book Characterization of CdxZn1 xS and PbS Thin Films for Photovoltaics written by Cliff Orori Mosiori and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of CdZnS and PbS nano-crystalline thin films deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method has been made using Four point probe for electrical sheet resistivity, UV-Vis spectroscopy and solar simulator for optical and Photovoltaic cell properties respectively. Sheet resistivity for CdZnS thin films was found to decrease as the concentration of Zn increased while PbS thin films had their sheet resistivity increase with increase in bath concentrations. Optical band gap for CdZnS had a tunability depending on the various Zn2+ concentrations used successfully as demonstrated by UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. Transmittance in CdxZn1-xS was found to be above 80%, optical band gap of 2.47 - 2.72 eV, refractive index of 2.58 - 2.39, and sheet resistivity of 1.09 - 1.36 x 102 -cm for x = 1.0 - 0.6. The thin films were suitable for use as window films for optical devices. PbS films were good absorbers with a band gap of 0.88 eV and transmittance below 55%, Electrical resistivity varying from 6.78 x 103 to 1.26 x 104 -cm, conductivity of 1.09 x 10-4 to 7.9 x 10-5 S-cm-1. The PbS films were suitable as absorber films for photovoltaic cell applications.
