TLDR
In this paper, the activation energies of acceptor E A and donor levels E D in the chalcopyrite compound CuInSe 2 were calculated by using a simpler model based in the effective-mass theory for the case of single, double and triple point defect centers.

Crystal growth and structure, electrical, and optical characterization of the semiconductor Cu2SnSe3

TL;DR: X-ray powder diffraction by p-type Cu2SnSe3, prepared by the vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger technique, shows that this material crystallizes in a monoclinic structure, space group Cc, with unit cell parameters a=6.5936(1) A, b=12.1593(4)

Defect physics of the CuInSe 2 chalcopyrite semiconductor

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the defect physics in a chalcopyrite semiconductor and showed that it takes much less energy to form a Cu vacancy in the semiconductor than to form cation vacancies in II-VI compounds and that defect formation energies vary considerably both with the Fermi energy and with the chemical potential of the atomic species.

Determination of defect distributions from admittance measurements and application to Cu(In,Ga)Se2 based heterojunctions

TL;DR: In this article, a method to deduce energy distributions of defects in the band gap of a semiconductor by measuring the complex admittance of a junction is proposed, which consists of calculating the derivative of the junction capacitance with respect to the angular frequency of the signal corrected by a factor taking into account the band bending and the drop of the ac signal.

High-efficiency cuinxga1-xse2 solar cells made from (inx,ga1-x)2se3 precursor films

TL;DR: In this paper, Ga and Se were coevaporated to form precursor films of (Inx,Ga1−x)2Se3, which were then converted to CuInxGa 1−xSe2 by exposure to a flux of Cu and Se. The final films were smooth, with tightly packed grains, and had a graded Ga content as a function of film depth.

Transport properties of CuInSe2

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical and thermal properties of CuInSe2 single crystals have been reviewed and in some cases, taking into account recently reported experimental values for the transport parameters, earlier results have been reexamined.
