A p-ZnTe/n-CdMnTe/n-GaAs diode was grown by MBE technology. The current-voltage characteristics of the grown device were analyzed under dark and illumination conditions. Thermionic emission and the space charge limited current were used to interpret the I V conduction mechanism through the heterostructure p-ZnTe/n-CdMnTe/n-GaAs at different temperatures. Photovoltaic parameters such as the short-circuit current I sc and open-circuit voltage V oc , power P = I V , maximum power P max , maximum current I M and maximum voltage V M were calculated at different light intensities. The dynamic I V characteristics under illumination exhibit the photovoltaic behavior of the investigated sample. Photosensitivity and the responsivity of the prepared device were calculated at different illumination intensities. p-ZnTe/n-CdMnTe/n-GaAs is a new promising candidate for photovoltaic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
