Historically, molybdenum thin films have been used as the back contact for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 based solar cells and as such the properties of these layers play an important role in the overall cell structure. This paper describes the production of molybden... Read More about Nano-structured morphological features of pulsed direct current magnetron sputtered Mo films for photovoltaic applications.

Hardness determination of bio-ceramics using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (2011)
Journal Article
Cowpe, J., Moorehead, R., Moser, D., Astin, J., Karthikeyan, S., Kilcoyne, S., …Pilkington, R. (2011). Hardness determination of bio-ceramics using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy, 66(3-4), 290-294. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sab.2011.03.007

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied to the analysis of bio-ceramic samples. The relationship between sample hardness and LIBS plasma properties was investigated, with comparison to conventional Vickers hardness measurements. The p...

Single step deposition method for nearly stoichiometric CuInSe2 thin films (2011)
Journal Article
Karthikeyan, S., Hill, A., Pilkington, R., Cowpe, J., Hisek, J., & Bagnall, D. (2011). Single step deposition method for nearly stoichiometric CuInSe2 thin films. Thin Solid Films, 519(10), 3107-3112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsf.2010.12.158

This paper reports the production of high quality copper indium diselenide thin films using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering from a powder target. As–grown thin films consisted of pin-hole free, densely packed grains. X–ray diffraction showed that film... Read More about Single step deposition method for nearly stoichiometric CuInSe2 thin films.
