“…As a modification of laser ablation, Henda et al used a pulsed electron deposition (PED) technique, in which energetic electrons are aimed at target material instead of photons. PED uses smaller pulses as compared to laser ablation and provides better electrical efficiency along with an enhanced deposition rate. , The study prepared pyrite thin films onto Pyrex glass substrates from a target material consisting of elemental iron and sulfur. The experiment was carried out at a pressure of around 3.5 mTorr in the presence of argon.…”

With an increase in energy demand and the depletion of conventional fuels, solar cells are emerging as an excellent alternative, providing a sustainable and clean source. Solar cells consisting of different materials have been introduced in recent years, and the overall performance defined by these materials has a lot of potential to increase. Transition metal dichalcogenides have gained significant importance due to their advantageous properties and promising potential. Iron disulfide or pyrite is one such material that has risen as a favorable material for photovoltaics cells owing to its suitable band gap, high absorption coefficient, and low cost. Not only this, the “earth abundance” and nontoxicity have also increased its prospects as a photovoltaic material. This study aims to review recent progress on the synthesis of pyrite and its utilization in photovoltaics. Different methods used for the synthesis of pyrite are reviewed followed by the properties of pyrite, the challenges that hinder its efficiency, and the possibilities of further research in this area.

Comparative study about Al-doped zinc oxide thin films deposited by Pulsed Electron Deposition and Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputtering as Transparent Conductive Oxide for Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 -based solar cells

“…In techniques such as RF sputtering and CVD, film stoichiometry is critically dependent on parameters such as chamber pressure and substrate temperatures. PLD, however, has several advantages including preservation of target stoichiometry in the film [37]. In addition, films could be deposited under a wide range of chamber pressure and substrate temperatures since the laser source is external to the deposition chamber [37].…”

This report is on the nature of strain in thin films of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) on yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) substrates due to film-substrate lattice mismatch and the resulting induced magnetic anisotropy. Films with thickness 55 nm to 380 nm were deposited on (100), (110), and (111) YAG substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) techniques and characterized by structural and magnetic characterization techniques. The in-plane strain determined to be compressive using X-ray diffraction (XRD). It varied from −0.12% to −0.98% and increased in magnitude with increasing film thickness and was relatively large in films on (100) YAG. The out-of-plane strain was tensile and also increased with increasing film thickness. The estimated strain-induced magnetic anisotropy field, found from XRD data, was out of plane; its value increased with film thickness and ranged from 0.47 kOe to 3.96 kOe. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements at 5 to 21 GHz also revealed the presence of a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy that decreased with increasing film thickness and its values were smaller than values obtained from XRD data. The PLD YIG films on YAG substrates exhibiting a perpendicular anisotropy field have the potential for use in self-biased sensors and high-frequency devices.
