Lock-in PCR was introduced to investigate the industrial solar cell. Laser-induced infrared photocarrier radiometry (PCR) is a dynamic near-infrared (NIR) modulated photoluminescence imaging (PL), which has proven to be an effective non-contact methodology for tie measurement of transport properties in semiconductors. Lock-in carrierography (LIC) is a dynamic NIR InGaAs-camera-based photocarrier radiometric PL imaging method recently introduced as an imaging extension of PCR. Ten industrial multicrystalline solar cells were used for LIC measurements. Statistical distributions were obtained from the infrared images and the dependencies of the efficiencies on the statistical parameters were found. Experimental results show that the statistic parameters in lock-in PCR could be used for the index of efficiency of solar cells.

In the present paper, the nature of electronic states and transport properties of nanostructured flower-like molybdenum disulphide grown by hydrothermal route has been studied. The band structure, electronic nature of charge, thermodynamics and the limit of phonon scattering through density functional theory (DFT) has also been studied. The band tail states, dynamics of trap states and transport of carriers was investigated through intensive impedance spectroscopy analysis.

A theoretical one-dimensional two-layer linear photocarrier radiometry (PCR) model including the presence of effective interface carrier traps was used to evaluate the transport parameters of p-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and n-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) passivated by an intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (i-layer) nanolayer. Several crystalline Si heterojunction structures were examined to investigate the influence of the i-layer thickness and the doping concentration of the a-Si:H layer. The experimental data of a series of heterojunction structures with intrinsic thin layers were fitted to PCR theory to gain insight into the transport properties of these devices.

ZnO nanowire (NW) visible-blind UV photodetectors with internal photoconductive gain as high as G approximately 108 have been fabricated and characterized. The photoconduction mechanism in these devices has been elucidated by means of time-resolved measurements spanning a wide temporal domain, from 10-9 to 102 s, revealing the coexistence of fast (tau approximately 20 ns) and slow (tau approximately 10 s) components of the carrier relaxation dynamics. The extremely high photoconductive gain is attributed to the presence of oxygen-related hole-trap states at the NW surface, which prevents charge-carrier recombination and prolongs the photocarrier lifetime, as evidenced by the sensitivity of the photocurrrent to ambient conditions.
