Interfaces at the front of superstrate CdTe-based solar cells are critical to carrier transport,
recombination, and device performance, yet determination of the chemical structure of these …

Acoustic emission technique is often used to monitor corrosion processes. Yet, among the
potential sources of AE associated to corrosion phenomena, the emissivity of oxygen …

The electronic structure of crystalline CdTe, CdO, α-TeO 2, CdTeO 3, and Cd 3 TeO 6 is
studied by means of first principles calculations. The band structure, total and partial density …

The surface of colloidally prepared dodecylamine/trioctylphosphine capped CdTe
nanocrystals has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. Particles preserved in inert …

Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, both classical and ab initio, of amorphous GeO 2
(germania), Al 2 O 3 (alumina), and CdTeO compounds are presented. We focus our …

Crystalline and microcrystalline Cd–Te–O samples have been obtained by RF reactive
sputtering from a CdTe target using N2O as oxidant. The growth conditions were substrate …

Using a first-principles pseudopotential technique within a generalized gradient
approximation of the density functional theory, we have investigated the mechanism of …

Thin films of the semiconductor alloy Cu x (Cd Te) y O z system were grown by reactive rf
cosputtering. The effects of incorporating both copper and oxygen into a CdTe matrix were …

The structural short-range order of amorphous compounds with the composition CdTeO x (a-
CdTeO x) is investigated by means of ab initio molecular dynamics. The interatomic forces …

Using X–ray induced Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Time–of–Flight Secondary Ion Mass
Spectrometry and Atomic Force Microscopy we have investigated elemental composition …
