The Design and Demonstration of Monocrystalline CdTe/MgCdTe Double-Heterostructure Solar Cells

abstract: Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) possesses preferable optical properties for photovoltaic (PV) applications: a near optimum bandgap of 1.5 eV, and a high absorption coefficient of over 15,000 cm-1 at the band edge. The detailed-balance limiting efficiency is 32.1% with an open-circuit voltage (Voc...
