Numerical simulation has been executed using Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) to study the possibility of favourable efficiency and stable CdS/CdTe cell in various cell configurations. A basic structure of CdS/CdTe cell is studied in this work with 4 m CdTe absorber layer and 100 nm tin oxide (SnO2) as front contact, 25 nm cadmium sulfide (CdS) as buffer layer, zinc telluride (ZnTe) is used as back surface field (BSF) material compared with ZnTe:Cu, Cu2Te and MoTe2 in order to reduce the minority carrier recombination at back surface field (BSF). The cell structure of glass/SnO2/CdS/CdTe/MoTe2 has shown the highest conversion 2 efficiency of 17.04% (Voc=0.91V, Jsc=24.79 mA/cm , FF=75.41). These calculations have verified that SnO2 as buffer layer and MoTe2 as back contacts are suitable for an efficient CdS/CdTe cell. Also, it is found that a few nanometers (about 40 nm) of back surface layer is enough to achieve high conversion efficiency.

ABSTRACT In this work, we investigated an intermediate layer in the structure of a photosensitive MOS structure nCdO / pCdTe . X-ray phase analysis shows that the intermediate layer between Mo and pCdTe is rather complex in composition. It contains dichalcogenides - three oxide MoO3 and a thin layer of a composite material with the composition of ditelluride MoTe2 . According to X-ray diffraction measurements, the total thickness of the intermediate layer is no more than ~ 200Ǻ. It was shown that in the nCdO / pCdTe structure the base material CdTe mainly consists of a homogeneous cubic modification layer.

Mazlan and T. Joseph Sahaya Anand Department of Engineering Materials, Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, University Technical Malaysia Melaka, Durian Tunggal Melaka 76100, Malaysia. Abstract - Thin films of transition metal chalcogenides, molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) have been electrodeposited cathodically on indium tin oxide-coated conducting glass substrates from ammonaical solution of H2MoO4 and TeO2. These MoTe2 thin films are useful as photovoltaic cell and photoelectro-chemical (PEC) solar cell. The electrode potential was varied while the bath temperature was maintained at 40±1 ºC and deposition time of 30 minutes. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the presence of highly textured MoTe2 films with polycrystalline nature. Compositional analysis by EDX gives their stoichiometric relationships. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to study surface morphology and shows that the films are smooth, uniform and useful for device fabrication. The optical absorption spectra showed that the material has an indirect band- gap value of 1.91-2.04 eV with different electrode potential. Besides, the film exhibited p-type semiconductor behavior.

Although WTe2 has been studied for decades, its structure and electronic properties have only recently been correctly described. We explored WTe2 synthesis via chemical vapor transport (CVT) method for bulk crystal, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) routes for thin film material. We employed both experimental and theoretical techniques to investigate its structural, physical and electronic properties of WTe2, and verify that WTe2 has its minimum energy configuration in a distorted 1T structure (Td structure), which results in metallic-like behavior. Our findings confirmed the metallic nature of WTe2, introduce new information about the Raman modes of Td-WTe2, and demonstrate that Td- WTe2 is readily oxidized via environmental exposure.

  • Polymorphism Control of Layered Mote2 Through Two-Dimensional
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Polymorphism Control of Layered MoTe2 through Two-Dimensional Solid-Phase Crystallization Received: 20 March 2019 Jyun-Hong Huang1, Hao-Hua Hsu1, Ding Wang2, Wei-Ting Lin2, Chun-Cheng Cheng2, Accepted: 29 May 2019 Yao-Jen Lee3,4 & Tuo-Hung Hou 1 Published: xx xx xxxx Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) exhibits an intriguing polymorphic nature, showing stable semiconducting 2H and metallic 1T′ phases at room temperature. Polymorphism in MoTe2 presents new opportunities in developing phase-change memory, high- performance transistors, and spintronic devices. However, it also poses challenges in synthesizing homogeneous MoTe2 with a precisely controlled phase. Recently, a new yet simple method using sputtering and 2D solid-phase crystallization (SPC) is proposed for synthesizing high-quality and large-area MoTe2. This study investigates the polymorphism control of MoTe2 synthesis using 2D SPC. The Te/Mo ratio and oxygen content in the as-sputtered flms correlate strongly with the fnal phase and electrical properties of SPC MoTe2. Furthermore, the SPC thermal budget may be exploited for stabilizing a deterministic phase. The comprehensive experiments presented in this work demonstrate the versatile and precise controllability on the MoTe2 phase by using the simple 2D SPC technique. 1 Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) shows a moderate bandgap close to that of Si , high carrier mobility2,3, and a large spin-orbit coupling splitting in the valence band4. Tese unique properties are being explored for various electronics5–7, optoelectronics8, and spintronics9,10 applications. In contrast to most 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with only one monotonous phase stable at room temperature, 2D 11 MoTe 2 exhibits intriguing polymorphism with a low phase transition barrier , and it can be directly synthesized into either a semiconducting or metallic phase5,12–14.

Desert Research Institute University and Community College System of Nevada Reno, NV 89512 Prepared for: C. Thomas Coulter and Charles W. Lewis, Project Officers U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 Contract No. 5D1808NAEX US. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air Quality Planning & Standards Emissions, Monitoring & Analysis Division Air Quality Modeling Group i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This revised protocol for applying and validating the Chemical Mass Balance Model (CMB) was originally developed by Desert Research Institute (DRI) of trhe University and Community College System of Nevada under Contract 5D1808NAEX with EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning & Standards. The Project Officers were C. Thomas Coulter1 and Charles W. Lewis.2 Substantial contributions to the initial draft of this protocol were made by DRI staff members John G. Watson, Judith C. Chow, and Eric M. Fujita. Tom Coulter spent considerable time reviewing and reformatting the protocol, and harmonizing it with the latest version of CMB: EPA-CMB8.2. He also developed and produced its Appendixes A, B and G. DISCLAIMER This protocol was reviewed by EPA for publication.

  • Formation of an Mote2 Based Schottky Junction Employing Ultra-Low and High Resistive Metal Cite This: RSC Adv.,2019,9, 10017 Contacts†
    RSC Advances View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue Formation of an MoTe2 based Schottky junction employing ultra-low and high resistive metal Cite this: RSC Adv.,2019,9, 10017 contacts† Sikandar Aftab,a Muhammad Waqas Iqbal, *b Amir Muhammad Afzal,a M. Farooq Khan,a Ghulam Hussain,b Hafiza Sumaira Waheedb and Muhammad Arshad Kamran c Schottky-barrier diodes have great importance in power management and mobile communication because of their informal device technology, fast response and small capacitance. In this research, a p-type molybdenum ditelluride (p-MoTe2) based Schottky barrier diode was fabricated using asymmetric metal contacts. The MoTe2 nano-flakes were mechanically exfoliated using adhesive tape and with the help of dry transfer techniques, the flakes were transferred onto silicon/silicon dioxide (Si/SiO2) substrates to form the device. The Schottky-barrier was formed as a result of using ultra-low palladium/gold (Pd/Au) Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. and high resistive chromium/gold (Cr/Au) metal electrodes. The Schottky diode exhibited a clear rectifying behavior with an on/off ratio of 103 and an ideality factor of 1.4 at zero gate voltage. In order to check the photovoltaic response, a green laser light was illuminated, which resulted in Received 23rd November 2018 À a responsivity of 3.8 Â 103 AW 1. These values are higher than the previously reported results that Accepted 18th March 2019 were obtained using conventional semiconducting materials. Furthermore, the barrier heights for Pd and DOI: 10.1039/c8ra09656b Cr with a MoTe2 junction were calculated to be 90 meV and 300 meV, respectively.
