The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions depends largely on the availability of clean
energy. To harness solar energy, photovoltaic (PV) materials (solar-grade silicon …

Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements with externally applied voltage
bias were performed on a variety of thin-film CdTe-based solar cells. These measurements …

This work describes the complete fabrication process of thin-absorber cadmium selenium
telluride/cadmium telluride photovoltaic devices for enhanced efficiency. Here, the process …

The do** of CdTe with As is a method which is thought to increase cell efficiency by
increasing electron hole concentrations. This do** relies on the diffusion of As through …

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaics are characterized by simplicity and speed of
fabrication with low usage of materials, all of which translate into low cost. These significant …

The goal of this project was to establish a cost-effective and scalable production approach of
feedstock (CdTe and Cd-Se-Te) for the solar industry, with the material properties necessary …

This thesis examines various atomistic mechanisms associated with the production of
cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cells and gives a fundamental understanding of …
