The effects of chlorine and selenium in cadmium telluride solar cells by Tom Fiducia

“…We then use TEM-based cathodoluminescence to show that selenium also has a passivation effect on grain boundaries in CdSeTe, which is the first time that high-resolution TEM-CL mapping has been achieved on a solar cell.Together, these results help to explain how cadmium telluride devices have achieved efficiencies of over 22%, despite their fast absorber layer deposition and small grain sizes. …”

Freeze drying microscopy as a tool to study sublimation kinetics by Purnima Raman

“…Cooling rates were mainly found to affect the surface resistance rather than bulk resistance and this may be due to different levels of surface drying when the samples are being cooled for different lengths of time. Annealing substantially changed the ice crystal sizes, and had a beneficial effect on freeze drying rates and had a similar effect to adding AgI. …”
