Electrical charge transport and optical properties of iron pyrite by Shukla, Sudhanshu

“…A non-standard, electrical experiment was carried out on a natural pyrite single crystal to assess the surface and bulk resistivities of pyrite which showed a significant difference in them for temperatures less than 120 K. It is concluded that the poor photovoltage generated by pyrite solar devices is due to the intrinsic defects in the material rather than to impurities or secondary phases.…”
