Photovoltaic effect in InSe - Application to Solar Energy Conversion

The transport properties of indium monoselenide have been measured in nand p-type material. Parameters for photoexcited carriers are given. Fabrication procedures for Schottky and p-n diodes are reported. Photovoltaic spectra are fitted with measured values of transport and optical parameters. InSe is shown to be a new material with attractive characteristics for solar energy conversion. Performance of InSe solar cells is discussed.
