Atomistic insights of multiple stacking faults in CdTe thin-film photovoltaics: A DFT study

Stacking faults in CdTe were studied using DFT simulations. Twin and tetrahedral stacking fault energies are significantly lower than previously suggested, strongly correlating with their high density observed experimentally. No long range ordering was found for tetrahedral stacking faults while a r...
