“…In this configuration only fringing fields extending outside the cavity through the endplate apertures or propogated by a plasma column excited by another absorption mechanism can effectively excite the plasma in the resonance zone. Nevertheless, the source works, and Lisitano noted this same effect in the very first report of an ECR helical resonator [216]. …”

“…It was first described in 1970 by Lisitano and coworkers [216], who built a very similar discharge source for gases, but to this author's knowledge this is the first time such a structure has been coupled to the exit orifice of an effusion cell. Although the cavity may be resonant prior to ignition of the plasma, its modes are significantly perturbed by the plasma itself, a problem previously addressed analytically by Agdur and Enander [217].…”

This project was initiated after the Boeing Company decided to terminate its photovoltaic research and development efforts, and donated some research equipment to UF. Billy Stanbery, who was part of the Boeing team, decided then to enroll at UF to pursue a Ph.D degree. As such these events constituted a rare direct technology transfer from industry to a university. This helped to preserve more than the published legacy of the solar cell efforts at Boeing, and jump-started a comprehensive, multifaceted, and multidisciplinary copper indium diselenide solar cell research effort at UF. 5-15 Micro-Raman scattering spectra of islands on two indium-rich CIS films grown on GaAs (100). The uppermost curve is from an island "pool" on a sodium-dosed film and the lower two are single and averaged spectra from isolated islands on the sample without sodium shown in Figure 5- field. It focused primarily on the physical and opto-electronic properties of the general class of I-III-VI2 and II-IV-V2 compound semiconductors. More recent reviews specifically oriented towards CIS materials and electronic properties [2][3][4][5][6] are also recommended reading for those seeking to familiarize themselves with key research results in this field.There are also a number of excellent books and reviews on photovoltaic device physics [7,8], on the general subject of solar cells and their applications [9,10], and others specifically oriented towards thin-film solar cells [11,12] Researchers have not always been careful to reserve the use of the compound designation CuInSe2 for single-phase material of the designated stoichiometry, an imprecision that is understandable in view of the difficulty in discriminating CuInSe2 from some other compounds in this material system, as will be discussed in detail elsewhere in this treatise. The compound designations such as CuInSe2 will be reserved herein for reference to single-phase material of finite solid solution extent, and multiphasic or materials of indeterminate structure composed of copper, indium, and selenium will be referred to by the customary acronym, in this case CIS. 3 This review begins with an overview of the physical properties of the principal copper ternary chalcogenides utilized for PV devices, including their thermochemistry, crystallography, and opto-electronic properties. All state-ofthe-art devices rely on alloys of these ternary compounds and employ alkali impurities, so the physical properties and effects of these additives will be presented, with an emphasis on their relevance to electronic carrier transport properties. This foundation will provide a basis from which to address the additional complexities and variability resulting from the plethora of materials processing methods and device structures which have been successfully employed to fabricate high efficiency PV devices utilizing absorbers belonging to this class of materials.

“…It is important to note, however, that results have been reported by a number of workers indicating efficient coupling of microwave power into the plasma at densities many times the critical density [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]; such a plasma is called 'overdense'. Overdense plasmas have been observed over a wide range of experimental conditions, and an equally wide range of theoretical explanations has been proposed to explain these anomalous results.…”
