A metalorganic selenide, diethylselenide [(C 2 H 5 ) 2 Se: DESe], was used as a less-hazardous selenization source for the preparation of CuInGaSe 2 alloy films for solar cell application. Purely single-phase, polycrystalline films of CuInGaSe 2 were formed without additional annealing process. Photoluminescence spectra of the films at low temperature were dominated by three donor-acceptor pair emissions peculiar to the films used for a photo-absorbing layer of state-of-the-art CuInGaSe 2 -based solar cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
