Optical function spectra and bandgap energy of Cu{sub 2}SnSe{sub 3}

Journal Article Choi, S. G., E-mail: sukgeun.choi@nrel.gov ; Kang, J. ; Beall, C. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We present the optical function spectra of Cu{sub 2}SnSe{sub 3} determined from 0.30 to 6.45 eV by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) at room temperature. We analyze the SE data using the Tauc-Lorentz model and obtain the direct-bandgap energy of 0.49 ± 0.02 eV, which is much smaller than the previously known value of 0.84 eV for the monoclinic-phase Cu{sub 2}SnSe{sub 3}. We also perform density-functional theory calculations to obtain the complex dielectric function data, and the results show good agreement with the experimental spectrum. Finally, we discuss the electronic origin of the main optical structures.

Environmental Screening Effects in 2D Materials: Renormalization of the Bandgap, Electronic Structure, and Optical Spectra of Few-Layer Black Phosphorus

Journal Article Qiu, Diana Y. ; da Jornada, Felipe H. ; Louie, Steven G. - Nano Letters

Few-layer black phosphorus has recently emerged as a potential 2D semiconductor, notable for its widely tunable bandgap, highly anisotropic properties, and theoretically predicted large exciton binding energies. To avoid degradation, it has become common practice to encapsulate black phosphorus devices. It is generally assumed that this encapsulation does not qualitatively affect their optical properties. In this work, we show that the contrary is true. We have performed ab initio GW and GW plus Bethe–Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) calculations to determine the quasiparticle (QP) band structure and optical spectrum of one-layer (1L) through four-layer (4L) black phosphorus, with and without encapsulation betweenmore »« less

Fundamental spectra of optical functions for indium bromide in the energy range of 2-30 eV at 4.2 K

Journal Article Sobolev, V. V., E-mail: Sobolev@uni.udm.ru ; Sobolev, V. Val. ; Anisimov, D. V. - Semiconductors

The spectra of sets of optical fundamental functions are determined for an indium-bromide crystal in the range of 0-30 eV at 4.2 K for the polarizations E Parallel-To a and E Parallel-To c. The calculations are carried out using experimental reflection spectra R(E) and several software packages. Their basic features are established.

Imaging Spatial Variations of Optical Bandgaps in Perovskite Solar Cells

Journal Article Chen, Boyi ; Peng, Jun ; Shen, Heping ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

A fast, nondestructive, camera-based method to capture optical bandgap images of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with micrometer-scale spatial resolution is developed. This imaging technique utilizes well-defined and relatively symmetrical band-to-band luminescence spectra emitted from perovskite materials, whose spectral peak locations coincide with absorption thresholds and thus represent their optical bandgaps. The technique is employed to capture relative variations in optical bandgaps across various PSCs, and to resolve optical bandgap inhomogeneity within the same device due to material degradation and impurities. Degradation and impurities are found to both cause optical bandgap shifts inside the materials. The results are confirmed with micro-photoluminescencemore »« less
