The average diameters of CdSe and InSe crystallites determined from diffraction lines analysis are respectively equal to 20 nm and 22 nm. The photoluminescence spectra at 300K and 80K of composite decompose well into two Gaussian curves, one is in good correlation with the photoluminescence of CdSe crystals and the other is shifted to higher energies than the width of the band gap of CdSe crystals.Item Photoelectrical parameters of ncds-pcdte thin film solar cells with CDO buffer layer [Articol](2016) Gașin, Petru; Gargara, Ludmila; Chetruș, Petru; Inculeț, Ion; Fiodorov, Vladimir; Qassem, Amjad-AlThe results of the studies of the effect of a CdO buffer layer on the photoelectrical parameters of CdS–CdTe solar cells have been described. It has been found that the formation of a 5–8 nm thick CdO buffer layer leads to an increase in the CdS–CdTe solar cell open circuit voltage (Voc) by 90–140 mV, short circuit current (Isc) by 1.4–3.2 mA/cm2, and efficiency by 2.8–4.1% at 300 K and an illumination of 100 mW/cm2.Item Preparation and characterization of Ga2O3 and GaN nanoparticles [Articol](SPIE, 2015) Rusu, Emil; Ursachi, Veaceslav; Raevschi, Simion; Vlazan, PaulinaIn this communication, we present results on preparation of GaN nanoparticles by conversion of Ga 2O 3 nanocrystals in a flow of NH 3 and H 2. The monoclinic Ga2O 3 nanoparticles have been prepared by hydrothermal method with gallium nitrate and sodium hydroxide as precursors. Ga2O 3 nanowires are produced with increasing the duration of the hydrothermal process up to 24 hours. The production of β-phase Ga2O 3 has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. According to XRD, Raman and FTIR spectra, wurtzite type GaN nanocrystals with an average size of 28.6 nm are obtained by nitridation of Ga2O3 nanoparticles. Doping of Ga2O 3 nanomaterial with Eu 3+ ions in the hydrothermal process is demonstrated, and the emission spectra of this Eu-doped nanomaterial are compared with those of Eu-doped nanoparticles prepared previously by solid state reactions.Item Photoluminescence study of Eu-doped Ga2O3 and GaN nanowires and nanoparticles produced by hydrothermal growth [Articol](Editura "Tehnica-UTM", 2015-05-20) Rusu, Emil; Ursachi, Veaceslav; Culeac, Ion; Raevschi, Simion; Vlazan, PaulinaWe present results on preparation of Eu doped GaN nanoparticles and nanowires on the basis of Ga2O3 nanomaterial produced by hydrothermal growth. The monoclinic Ga2O3 nanoparticles and nanowires have been prepared with gallium nitrate and sodium hydroxide as precursors. nanomaterial produced by hydrothermal growth. The monoclinic Ga2O3 nanoparticles and nanowires have been prepared with gallium nitrate and sodium hydroxide as precursors. The geometrical form on the nanomaterial is determined by the duration of the hydrothermal process. The Ga2O3 nanomaterial is transformed unto GaN nanoparticles and nanowires by nitridation in a flow of NH3 and H2. The photoluminescence properties Eu doped Ga2O3 and GaN nanomaterial are investigated under pulsed and continuum wave excitation. The produced material is also investigated by means of XRD analysis, Raman scattering and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.Item Synthesis and properties of Al-doped ZnO thin films for photovoltaics [Articol](Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-11-27) Potlog, Tamara; Lungu, Ion; Botnariuc, Vasile; Gorceac, Leonid; Raevschi, Simion; Taku, Miyake; Worasawat, Suchada; Mimura, HidenoriPolycrystalline undoped and Al-doped ZnO thin films were deposited by spray pyrolysis using oxygen and argon atmospheres. The influence of postdeposition vacuum annealing on the structure, morphology and optical properties was studied by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and UV–VIS spectroscopy. The thermal vacuum annealing induces structural and morphological changes, especially in Al-doped ZnO thin films synthetized in oxygen atmosphere. Further on, the electrical conductivity in dependence of the nature of gas atmosphere and Al concentration is discussed.Item Effect of carrier gas and vacuum annealing on the physical properties of ZnO thin films doped with gallium by chemical spray pyrolysis [Articol](Editura "Tehnica-UTM", 2018-05-24) Potlog, Tamara; Lungu, Ion; Botnariuc, Vasile; Raevschi, Simion; Worasawat, Suchada; Mimura, Hidenori; Gorceac, LeonidStructural, optical and electrical properties of zinc oxide thin films doped with 2% Ga, annealed in the vacuum at the same temperature and obtained onto glass substrates by the chemical spray pyrolysis method in the different gas atmospheres were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), UV-VIS spectrophotometry and Hall measurements, respectively. XRD studies revealed that all films were polycrystalline in nature, with a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure and a predominant (002) c-axis orientation. All ZnO:Ga thin films had higher than 80 % transmittances in the visible region. Doping with 2% Ga led to a decrease in the optical band gap indifferent of the nature of the carrier gas. The synthesis of ZnO thin films with 2% Ga doping and annealing in the same conditions in Ar and O2 atmospheres led to the lower conductivity with electron concentration of 1016 cm−3.Item Silicon carbide nanolayers as a solar cell constituent [Articol](2015) Zakhvalinskii, Vasilii; Pilyk, Evghenii; Goncharov, Igor; Simașchevici, Alexei; Șerban, Dormidont; Bruc, Leonid; Curmei, Nicolai; Rusu, MarinThin films of predominantly amorphous n-type SiC were prepared by non-reactive magnetron sputtering in an Ar atmosphere. A previously synthesized SiC was used as a solid-state target. Deposition was carried out on a cold substrate of p-type Si (100) with a resistivity of 2 Vcm. The Raman spectrum shows a dominant band at 982 cm 1 , i.e., in the spectral region characteristic for SiC. It was found that the root mean square roughness varies from about 0.3 nm to 9.0 nm when the film thickness changes from about 2 nm to 56 nm, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy studies showed that SiC thin films consist predominantly of an amorphous phase with inclusions of very fine nanocrystallites. A heterostructure consisting of a p-type Si (100) and a layer of predominantly amorphous n-type SiC was fabricated and studied. The investigation of its electrical and photoelectric properties shows that the entire space charge region is located in Si. This is in addition confirmed by the spectral dependence of the p-Si/n-SiC photosensitivity. The barrier height at the p-Si/n-SiC interface estimated from dark I–V characteristics is of the order of 0.9–1.0 eV. Load I–V characteristics of p-Si/n-SiC-nanolayer solar cells demonstrate under standard AM1.5 illumination conditions a conversion efficiency of 7.22%.Item Silicon solar cells based on pSi/nSi3N4 nanolayers [Articol](2016) Zakhvalinskii, Vasilii; Pilyk, E.; Goncharov, I.; Simașchevici, Alexey; Șerban, Dormidont; Bruc, Leonid; Curmei, Nicolai; Rusu, Marin; Rodrigez, G.Thin films of Si 3N4 were prepared by non-reactive magnetron sputtering in an Ar atmosphere. A previously synthesized Si 3N4 was used as a solid-state target. Deposition was carried out on a cold substrate of p-Si (1 0 0) with a resistivity of 2 Ohm cm. The Raman spectrum of the deposited Si 3N 4 layers has been investigated. The position of the maximum in the Raman scattering spectrum of Si3 N4 layers corre sponds to the Si3 N4 compound and the shape of the spectrum is characteristic for the nanocrystalline state of the cubic modification of silicon nitride. The film thickness has been determined from atomic force microscopy measurements. The results of electron diffraction investigations of n-Si3 N4 nanolayers with thicknesses up to 20 nm demonstrates that as-deposited Si 3N4 thin films consist of a mixture of microcrystalline and amorphous phases. Solar cells based on heterostructures consisting of a p-type Si (1 0 0) and n-type Si 3N4 nanolayers were fabricated and studied.
