Dual-Wavelength Time-Resolved Photoluminescence Study of CdSe x Te 1-x Surface Passivation via Mg y Zn 1-y O and Al 2 O 3

Voltage loss is currently one of the biggest challenges facing cadmium telluride (CdTe) based photovoltaics. Determining the location(s) of major voltage loss within the device stack (e.g., front/back interface, grain boundaries) is therefore of primary interest. Here, we present a custom-built time-resolved photoluminescence system with two excitation wavelengths—670 (standard) and 405 nm—to prob...
