Öğe Boosting the efficiency of Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells with VO2 phase transition photonic crystal(Elsevier, 2023) Basyooni, Mohamed A.; Houimi, Amina; Tihtih, Mohammed; Zaki, Shrouk E.; Boukhoubza, Issam; Belaid, Walid; En-nadir, RedouanePhotonic crystal (PhC) has been studied for their potential to improve the efficiency of Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells by increasing the generated photocurrent by integrating it as a back reflector with almost zero transmission through the absorption active zone of the solar cell. It was found that the thickness of PhC layers greatly affects the width of the photonic bandgap and that increasing the thickness of VO2 causes it to shift to a higher wavelength range. The PhC layers were added at the back side of the solar cell in two different configurations: (Monoclinic (M) VO2/TiO2) and (Tetragonal (T) VO2/TiO2) via SCAPS model. The study found that the (M VO2/TiO2) configuration led to an enhancement of the device's efficiency from 11.02 to 12.79%, while the (T VO2/TiO2) reaches 16.88%. The study concluded that the PhC layers enhance the light-matter coupling and photonic coupling and improvement in the device's performance.Öğe Determination of photovoltaic parameters of CIGS hetero junction solar cells produced by PLD technique, using SCAPS simulation program(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Gezgin, Serap Yigit; Houimi, Amina; Gundogdu, Yasemin; Mercimek, Bedrettin; Kilic, Hamdi SukurIn this study, CIGS ultrathin films of 52 nm, 89 nm, 183 nm and 244 nm thicknesses were grown on a n-Si substrate using PLD technique, then Ag/CIGS/Si/Al hetero-junction solar cells were formed by producing front finger and back contact. While the thickness of CIGS ultrathin film is increased, their grain sizes are also increased, crystal structures are developed and more light is absorbed within the thin film. The straight characteristics of hetero-junctions have been improved while the thicknesses of CIGS ultrathin film is decreased according to J-V characteristics of the hetero-junctions in the darkness. In addition, depending on CIGS ultrathin film thickness, the photovoltaic behavior of CIGS/Si hetero junction solar cells has been studied and interpreted in detail in this article. It can be concluded that CIGS/Si hetero-junction solar cell device produced based on CIGS ultrathin film of 183 nm thickness shows the highest short circuit current density and power conversion efficiency values among other thicknesses, with respect to J-V curve under the illumination (AM 1.5 solar radiation in 80 mW/cm2). Using SCAPS 1-D program, we have been able to successfully simulate CIGS/Si hetero-junction of 183 nm thickness.Öğe The Effect of CZTS Ultrathin Film Thickness on the Electrical Characteristic of CZTS/Si Heterojunction Solar Cells in the Darkness and under the Illumination Conditions(Springer, 2021) Gezgin, Serap Yigit; Houimi, Amina; Mercimek, Bedrettin; Kilic, Hamdi SukurIn this study, Ag/CZTS/Si/Al heterojunction solar cells were produced depending on some parameters of CZTS ultrathin active film layers grown on a n-Si wafer by PLD technique. CZTS ultrathin films have been produced as a function of the number of laser pulses and then annealed in a tube oven as a function of sulfurization temperature. The crystal structure, the optical and morphological properties of grown&annealed CZTS ultrathin films were examined by XRD, UV-vis spectra, AFM, respectively. The electrical characteristics of CZTS heterojunction solar cell in the darkness, which were investigated by the conventional J-V Method, Cheung Cheung Method and Norde Method. As the thickness of CZTS ultrathin films increased, the forward current of CZTS heterojunctions increased and their ideality factor, serial resistance and barrier height decreased. Also, the efficiency of Ag/CZTS/Si/Al heterojunction solar cells have been examined and characterised as a function of CZTS ultrathin film thickness under the illumination conditions. J-V curves of CZTS heterojunction solar cells were determined under AM 1.5 solar radiation in 80 MW/cm(2), all CZTS heterojunction solar cells have exhibited the photovoltaic behaviour. J(sc), V-oc, FF, eta parameters of Ag/CZTS/Si/Al heterojunction solar cells were measured, interpreted and compared with each other.Öğe Effect of Li Doping on Cu2SnS3/n-Si Heterojunction Solar Cells: Experiments and Simulation(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2023) Houimi, Amina; Gezgin, Serap Yigit; Mercimek, Bedrettin; Kilic, Hamdi SukurCu2SnS3 (CTS) semiconductor material owns very interesting absorbing properties that allow it to be effectively utilized in many thin-film-based heterojunction solar cells. In this work, using the ball milling method, a mixture of pure elemental powders is used to synthesize CTS material. Homemade undoped and Li-doped target pellets are used to form CTS-doped and CTS-undoped thin films. The crystallinity investigation of synthesized targets and thin films confirms the formation of CTS tetragonal phase. Compositional, morphologic, and optic studies are also made to examine the effect of Li atom incorporation on different properties of CTS thin films. These CTS thin films are also incorporated into heterojunction solar cells (Al/n-Si/CTS/Ag and Al/n-Si/Li0.03CTS/Ag). In addition, J-V characteristics of both CTS and Li0.03CTS solar cells are demonstrated and discussed in details. The effect of CTS thin films' thickness on the performance is studied using Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS-1D) program. The results of the calculation are discussed in details and compared with the experimental results. An increase in efficiency is achieved in solar cells based on Li-doped CTS thin films, and it is discussed in detail along with SCAPS-1D simulation that is carried out depending on the thickness of CTS thin films.Öğe The electrical properties of ZnO/Si heterojunction diode depending on thin film thickness(Korean Physical Soc, 2022) Akin, Ummuhan; Houimi, Amina; Gezgin, Bahri; Gundogdu, Yasemin; Kilic, Sumeyye; Mercimek, Bedrettin; Berber, AdnanIn this work, ZnO thin films have been produced on p-Si wafer depending on number of laser pulses applied using pulse laser deposition (PLD) technique at room temperature conditions. Three different thicknesses of ZnO thin films (ZnO1, ZnO2 and ZnO3) have been produced by applying 18,000, 36,000 and 54,000 laser pulses and thicknesses of these produced three thin films have been measured to be 41 nm, 70 nm, 197 nm, respectively. It is observed in this work that while thicknesses of ZnO thin films increases, crystal structure of thin films develops, their grain size increase while their band gaps decrease. Ag/ZnO/Si/Au heterojunction diodes have been produced based on ZnO1, ZnO2 and ZnO3 thin films. After that, effect of thickness of thin film on electrical properties of diodes produced depending on number of laser pulses has been analyzed in detail. I-V characteristics of ZnO/Si heterojunction diodes produced have also been measured in darkness environment and under illumination conditions (AM 1.5 solar radiation of 80 mW/cm(2)) and results obtained have been interpreted and a conclusion has been made in this work. Furthermore, ideality factors, barrier heights and serial resistivities of these diodes have been calculated using conventional thermionic emission theory, Norde and Cheung-Cheung methods and then results obtained from analytical methods have been interpreted in detail in the present article. ZnO heterojunction diodes have exhibited photovoltaic properties under illumination conditions. It has been observed that as thickness of ZnO thin film is increased, J(sc) and eta values of the hetero junction diodes are increased. ZnO-3A hetero junction diode has exhibited the most improved photovoltaic performance. We have also theoretically investigated photo-electric properties of ZnO-3A heterojunction diode using SCAPS-1D packed software. The resulted J-V characteristics have been found very similar to measured counterparts.Öğe MoO3 nanowire growth on VO2/WO3 for thermochromic applications(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2024) Houimi, Amina; Kabatas, Mohamed A.

A comparative study between experimental and calculated outputs(Elsevier, 2021) Houimi, Amina; Gezgin, Serap Yigit; Mercimek, Bedrettin; Kilic, Hamdi SukurCZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) is a p-type semiconductor material which has been intensively used as an absorbing layer for thin film solar cells. Using pulsed laser ablation + deposition technique, we have been able to successfully form a CZTS/n-Si heterojunction solar cells with an optimum thickness of 210 nm of CZTS thin film. Different characteristics (optic, crystal and morphologic) of CZTS thin films have been investigated according to the thickness of CZTS thin film. We have accomplished a simulation work based on CZTS/c-Si hetero junction solar cells using SCAPS-1D. Into this model, experimental data including band gap, thickness and absorption coefficient have been introduced. The change of hole carrier's density in CZTS thin film, interface defect density in CZTS/n-Si hetero junction and device temperature have been found to be very influential on J-V characteristics of a CZTS (210 nm)/c-Si solar cell. SCAPS-1D model has also been introduced for the other three different CZTS thin films thicknesses and the results obtained from both SCAPS-1D program and experimental measurements have been found to be very close to each other.Öğe Observation of negative photoresponse in joule-heated Au/Cu2SnS3 ternary chalcogenide thin film deposited by low energy pulsed laser deposition(Elsevier, 2022) Basyooni, Mohamed A.; Belaid, Walid; Houimi, Amina; Zaki, Shrouk E.; Eker, Yasin Ramazan; Gezgin, Serap Yigit; Kilic, Hamdi SukurGold (Au) nanoparticles trapped within Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films were effectively deposited on a low-cost glass substrate using a simple pulsed laser deposition of 15 mJ for 5 ns at a 10 Hz repetition rate. The film's structural, morphological, topography, optical, and optoelectronic properties were investigated. Highly crystalline ternary chalcogenide CTS with tetragonal symmetry and 17 nm grain size is prepared. The 110 0 resistivity of the thin film increases up to 125 0 indicating a negative photoresponse under visible light excitation. The decrease in the photocurrent is also observed with Cu2SnS3/Au/Cu2SnS3 sandwich ternary chalcogenide structure at resistivities values from 31 to 35 0 and a Joule effect influence the presence of plasmonic Au nanoparticle interlayers involved a lower phonon disorder given a higher photoresponse effect as predicted from Urbach energy.
