The results of a study of the emission spectra of thin nanocrystalline films of Cu(In1-xGax)(SySe1-y)2 (CIGSSe) direct-band-gap solid solutions in the structure of solar cells at ~ 0.5 W/cm2 continuous wave and nanosecond pulsed laser excitation in the range of excitation power density 0.1 - 53 kW/cm2 and temperatures of 10-300 K are presented. It was found that stimulated emission (SE) occurs in thin CIGSSe films in the temperature range from 10 K to 90 K in the spectral region h = 1.062 - 1.081 eV with a minimum threshold pump level of about 1 kW/cm2. It was shown, that, with increasing intensity of the exciting emission, the spontaneous emission bands shift toward higher energies. It was found that the photoluminescence bands at low excitation levels and the SE bands shift with increasing temperature toward higher energies, and the PL bands at high excitation levels shift toward low energies. Possible causes and mechanisms of the influence of temperature and excitation intensity on the spectral positions of spontaneous and SE of the films of solid solutions are discussed.
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.
