Spectrum Broadening Due to Nonselective Linear Absorption by Xingchu Zhang, Weilong She

“…This novel linewidth-broadening effect is different from the well-known Lorentzian, Doppler, and Voigt broadening, and is likely to be more independent evidence of the discrete wavelet structure of classical plane light waves. The effect is significant in high-sensitivity spectroscopy measurements, for example streak camera spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy experiments. …”

Band gap engineering and electronic structure of Cu2Ni(Sn,Ge,Si)Se4 kesterites: A DFT perspective on new earth-abundant semiconductors for high-performance photovoltaics by Iskandar Raufov, Dilshod Nematov, Saidjaafar Murodzoda, Anushervon Ashurov, Sakhidod Sattorzoda

“…Compared to conventional CZTS-based kesterites, the incorporation of Ni and the substitution of Sn with Ge and Si not only enable magnetic and bandgap modulation but also expand their application range, making them suitable for use in photovoltaics spanning from near-infrared to visible light. The tunable band gaps and electronic structures of Cu2Ni(Sn,Ge,Si)Se4 make these materials ideal candidates not only for single-junction solar cells, but also for tandem architectures and infrared photodetectors. …”
