We have grown 100-nm-thick BaSi 2 films on transparent silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
substrates using molecular beam epitaxy, for optical absorption measurements. The SOI …

The electrical properties and optical absorption (OA) spectra of undoped BaSi2 films grown
by molecular beam epitaxy were investigated The electron density and mobility of BaSi2 …

Barium disilicide (BaSi 2) has attracted significant attention as a promising next-generation
thin-film solar cell material. However, there are still significant barriers to bringing BaSi 2 to …

We have performed a theoretical study of the electronic band structure, density of states,
dielectric function and absorption coefficient of isostructural BaSi2, BaGe2 and SrGe2 …

In this article, semiconducting Barium Silicide (BaSi 2) absorber based ${\rm {Al}}/{{\rm
{SnO}}} _ {2}:{\rm {F}}/{\rm {CdS}}/{{\rm {BaSi}}} _ {2}:{\rm {B}}/{\rm {Cu}} $ novel …

Barium disilicide (BaSi2), composed of abundant and inexpensive elements, is a potential
absorber material for thin-film solar cells. In this study, density-functional theory calculations …

Employing a hybrid density functional theory, we reveal the origin of the large absorption
coefficient in BaSi 2, which is roughly two to eighty times larger at ħω− E g= 0.5 eV than …

Abstract We have grown [100]-oriented BaSi 2 multidomain epilayers on Si (111) substrates
by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using a BaSi 2 epitaxial template formed by reactive …

Abstract Operation of n+-BaSi 2/p-BaSi 2 (500 nm)/p+-BaSi 2 homojunction solar cells on p+-
Si (111) is demonstrated, showing a saturation current density of 9.4 mA cm− 2 and an open …
