研究目的
To study the evolution of grains in polycrystalline CdTe/CdS structures using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to understand the defect and grain boundary structures for improving solar cell efficiency.
研究成果
The MD simulation successfully replicated the polycrystalline growth of CdTe/CdS, closely mimicking experimental morphologies. Both zincblende and wurtzite structures were observed, along with highly disordered atoms. An incubation period for CdTe nucleation was noted, and CdTe grain growth was faster than CdS.
研究不足
The study is limited to simulations and may not fully capture all experimental conditions. The SW potential, while validated, may not account for all atomic interactions accurately.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations using a Stillinger-Weber (SW) potential to describe the repulsion and attraction forces between molecules.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Amorphous CdS layer constructed by heating a thin layer of single crystal CdS material up to the melting point.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not explicitly mentioned.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Deposition of CdS on amorphous CdS and CdTe on polycrystalline CdS at specific temperatures and rates, with atoms tracked over time.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis of nucleation, growth, and grain boundary formation using structure maps and time-sequence images.
