Light-Induced Increase of Electron Diffusion Length in a p–n Junction Type CH3NH3PbBr3 Perovskite Solar Cell
Nir Kedem,Thomas M. Brenner,Michael Kulbak,Norbert Schaefer,Sergiu Levcenko,Igal Levine,Daniel Abou-Ras,Gary Hodes,David Cahen +8 more
TL;DR: Using cross-sectional electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) measurements, an increase in carrier diffusion length is found in MAPbBr3(Cl)-based solar cells upon low intensity blue laser illumination and the EBIC cross section profile indicates a p-n structure between the n-FTO/TiO2 and p-perovskite, rather than the p-i-n structures reported for the iodide derivative.

Evidence for Exponential Band Tails in Amorphous Silicon Hydride
TL;DR: In this article, the conduction and valence-band width of amorphous silicon hydride is inferred from time-of-flight measurements of the temperature dependence of the electron and hole drift mobilities, and a multiple-trapping model of dispersive transport.
