GROWTH OF CuIn₁₃S₂₀ SINGLE CRYSTALS AND STRUCTURES ON THEIR BASIC

Abstract

Using the method of directional solidification (the vertical Bridgman method) single crystals CuIn13S20 were grown. The composition and structure of the obtained crystals were defined. On the basis of the grown crystals the photo electrochemical cells were created and spectral dependence of the quantum efficiency of photoconversion of cell electrolyte/CuIn13S20 was measured. The possibility of application of single crystals CuIn13S20 in broadband photoconversions of natural radiation, as well as in the development of solar cells was indicated.
