Electrical and Optical Properties of CaTi1−yFeyO3−δ Perovskite Films as Interlayers for Optoelectronic Applications

Abstract

CaTi1−yFey O3−δ perovskite oxide films are promising candidate materials for p-type interlayers of third generation solar cells or light-emitting devices. The impact of atomic Ti substitutions by Fe on electrical and optical properties of CaTi0.5Fe0.5O3−δ perovskite films have been studied. The best compromise between a high transmission coefficient and the suitable electrical conductivity is obtained for a specific atomic composition of Ca (1) Ti (0.5) Fe (0.5) O (3−δ) perovskite films. This paper shows that CaTi1−yFeyO3−δ perovskite oxides can be integrated as p-type interfacial layers of optoelectronic devices through their work functions, electrical, and optical properties.
