Solid state reactions in sputter-deposited Nb/Al multilayer thin films have been studied by transmission and analytical electron microscopy (TEM/AEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Nb/Al multilayer thin films for TEM studies were sputter-deposited on (1102)sapphire substrates. The periodicity of the films is in the range 10-500 nm. The overall composition of the films are 1/3, 2/1, and 3/1 Nb/Al, corresponding to the stoichiometric composition of the three intermetallic phases in this system.Figure 1 is a TEM micrograph of an as-deposited film with periodicity A = dA1 + dNb = 72 nm, where d's are layer thicknesses. The polycrystalline nature of the Al and Nb layers with their columnar grain structure is evident in the figure. Both Nb and Al layers exhibit crystallographic texture, with the electron diffraction pattern for this film showing stronger diffraction spots in the direction normal to the multilayer. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all films are dominated by the Al(l 11) and Nb(l 10) peaks and show a merging of these two peaks with decreasing periodicity.

Cd1-xZnxS thin films were deposited on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The effect of ZnSO4 solution concentration on the properties of the thin films was analyzed. The concentration of ZnSO4 solution affects the deposition rate of Cd1-xZnxS thin films. When the deposition rate is low, Cd1-xZnxS cubic crystal phase is formed. The surface morphology of hexagonal Cd1-xZnxS thin films is denser than that of cubic phase, the lattice mismatch rate of cubic phase Cd1-xZnxS thin films and CIGS is lower, only 0.56%, the interfacial state density is lower. SCAPS software was used to simulate the performance of the buffer layer, and the conversion efficiency of the cubic phase Cd1-xZnxS buffer layer in CIGS Solar Cell was up to 23.50%. Based on the EDS results, the function relationship between the contents of Zn2+ and Cd2+ in the films and the band gap content was deduced.

We report a solvent-free approach to synthesizing organolead perovskites by using solid state reactions to coat perovskite crystals onto Al2O3or TiO2nanoparticles followed by addition of terpineol affording perovskite inks.
