Diffusion of Zn in TPV materials: GaSb, InGaSb, InGaAsSb and InAsSbP

摘要

This paper reviews recent results of the study of Zn diffusion from the vapor phase in important thermophotovoltaic (TPV) materials such as GaSb-, InGaAsSb-, InGaSb- and InAsSbP. Peculiarities of Zn diffusion in each of these materials and different ways of tailoring the Zn diffusion profile for fabrication of optimized emitters in TPV cells are discussed.
