Preparation and analysis of I-III-VI2 Nanomaterials for the Solar Energy Conversion and Radiation Sensing Applications
EMSL Project ID

Abstract
This proposal is for the science theme call of Science of Interfacial Phenomena: Tailored Interfacial Structures for Dynamics, Reactivity, and Transport. We are asking for the general access of non-proprietary status. The main goals of the proposed research are the development and study of wide-band-gap I-III-VI2 Chalcopyrite nanomaterials for a variety of opto-electronic applications including the development of next generation photovoltaic (PV) devices and radiation sensors (or detectors). The proposed work is a continuation of collaboration between EMSL (Dr. Chongmin Wang and co-workers), which started in January 2006. The previous collaborations with EMSL scientists and PIs have already resulted in one manuscript submitted and another in preparation. It is critical for this research that we have continued access to EMSL resources. The primary analysis techniques that are requested from EMSL are HRTEM, SEM (FEI), AFM, and XPS. In addition to the primary techniques, we foresee potential use of SIMS, PEEM, accelerator based ion beam analysis, UHV STM/ AFM, FTIR, ICP-MS, and laser Raman.
