Cerium-doped silicon oxides with cerium concentrations of up to 0.9 at. % were deposited by electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Bright cerium related photoluminescence, easily seen even ...

Amorphous silicon thin films based solar cells have a low efficiency comparing to the conventional poly-crystalline silicon wafer based solar cells. To overcome the efficiency limitation, the attempt to crystallize the ...
