Impact of dopant-induced band tails on optical spectra, charge carrier transport, and dynamics in single-crystal CdTe

Abstract Cadmium telluride (CdTe) semiconductors are used in thin-film photovoltaics, detectors, and other optoelectronic applications. For all technologies, higher efficiency and sensitivity are achieved with reduced charge carrier recombination. In this study, we use state-of-the-art CdTe single c...
