Article Description

The concentration of native point defects in CuInSe powder material as a function of stoichiometry has been experimentally determined by neutron powder diffraction. A correlation between the Cu/In ratio and the density of V as well as In has been established and their concentrations are quantified. It is demonstrated, that assuming the spontaneous formation of defect pairs, the density of native point defects is reduced significantly by an order of magnitude. The functionality of a solar device, assuming same conditions like in the analyzed material, may be explained by a neutralization due to the formation of electrically inactive defect complexes. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
