Low Intensity Conduction States in FeS₂: Implications for Absorption, Open-Circuit Voltage and Surface Recombination

Pyrite (FeS₂), being a promising material for future solar technologies, has so far exhibited in experiments an open-circuit voltage (OCV) of around 0.2 V, which is much lower than the frequently quoted 'accepted' value for the fundamental bandgap of ∼0.95 eV. Absorption experiments show l...
