In this paper, the AlSb polycrystalline thin films were prepared by vacuum co-evaporation technology and their structural, optical and electrical properties have been studied. XRD results showed that the as-deposited AlSb amorphous thin films transformed to polycrystalline state after annealed in vacuum at temperatures higher than 540°C. The process of phase change was observed to depend on the annealing temperature and the film composition. Some irreversible changes took place in the annealed films during the measurement of the temperature dependence of the film conductance. The conductance activation energy of the film was 0.132 and 0.32 eV during the heating and cooling process, respectively, which suggests the decrease of Sb vacancies in the AlSb film after the heating. Hall effect and optical absorption measurement showed that the AlSb polycrystalline thin films were p-type, indirect bandgap semiconductors with absorption coefficient higher than 8 × 104 cm -1. TCO/CdS/AlSb photovoltaic devices with the local open circuit voltage of over 200 mV have been fabricated.

AbstractLight-induced halide segregation limits the bandgap tunability of mixed-halide perovskites for tandem photovoltaics. Here we report that light-induced halide segregation is strain-activated in MAPb(I1−xBrx)3 with Br concentration below approximately 50%, while it is intrinsic for Br concentration over approximately 50%. Free-standing single crystals of CH3NH3Pb(I0.65Br0.35)3 (35%Br) do not show halide segregation until uniaxial pressure is applied. Besides, 35%Br single crystals grown on lattice-mismatched substrates (e.g. single-crystal CaF2) show inhomogeneous segregation due to heterogenous strain distribution. Through scanning probe microscopy, the above findings are successfully translated to polycrystalline thin films. For 35%Br thin films, halide segregation selectively occurs at grain boundaries due to localized strain at the boundaries; yet for 65%Br films, halide segregation occurs in the whole layer. We close by demonstrating that only the strain-activated halide segregation (35%Br/45%Br thin films) could be suppressed if the strain is properly released via additives (e.g. KI) or ideal substrates (e.g. SiO2).
