Diachenko O. Optimization of structural, electrical and optical characteristics of thin-film solar cells layers based on Mg, Zn, Cu oxides obtained by spray-pyrolysis

PhD thesis is devoted to determining the efficiency η and the main photoelectric characteristics (external and internal quantum yield, open circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, fill factor) of solar cells based on n-Zn1-xMgxO / p-CuxO heterojunctions with frontal transparent contacts n-ITO, ZnO:Al, depending on the design features of the devices by modelling the physical processes in the solar cells; to optimization of the design of such solar cells by minimizing optical and recombination losses in such devices; to the study of influence of the physical conditions of deposition of functional layers of MgO, ZnO, Zn1-xMgxO, CuO by the spray pyrolysis method on their structural, substructural, optical, and electrical properties in order to optimize their characteristics with a view to further its usage as the base layers of solar cells; to creating a prototype device based on n-Zn1-xMgxO /p-CuO heterojunction and determining its electrical properties.
