摘　　要：CdS/CdMnTe异质结是具有集成分立光谱结构的叠层电池的"核芯"元件,是驱动第三代太阳能电池发展的核心引擎,其界面相互作用对大幅度提高太阳能电池的转换效率至关重要.本文采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算构建CdS(002),CdMnTe(111)表面模型及Mn原子占据不同位置的CdS/CdMnTe异质结界面结构模型,分析CdS(002),CdMnTe(111)表面及异质结界面的电子性质和光学性质.晶格结构分析表明,CdS/CdMnTe异质结的晶格失配度约为3.5%,弛豫后原子位置与键长均在界面处发生一定程度的变化.态密度分析发现异质结界面的费米能级附近不存在界面态,并且界面处的Cd,S,Te原子之间的轨道杂化可增强界面的结合能力.差分电荷密度分析显示,界面处发生了电荷的重新分配,电子由CdMnTe转移到CdS侧.光学分析显示,CdS/CdMnTe异质结主要吸收紫外光,吸收系数可达105 cm^(-1),但不同Mn原子位置的异质结光学性质也稍有差别.在200—250 nm范围,Mn原子位于中间层的异质结的吸收系数更大,但在250—900 nm范围内,Mn原子位于界面层的异质结吸收峰更高.本文合理构建了CdS/CdMnTe异质结模型,计算分析了其界面光电性能,可为提高叠层电池的光电转换效率提供一定的理论参考,为实现多带隙异质结的实验研究提供一定的理论依据.CdS/CdMnTe heterojunction is the core of photoelectric conversion of CdMnTe film solar cells,whose interface properties have an important influence on the cell efficiency.In this study,the first-principles calculation method based on density functional theory is used to build the surface model for each of the CdS(002)and the CdMnTe(111)and the model of CdS/CdMnTe heterojunction with Mn atoms occupying different positions,and to analyze their electronic properties and optical properties.The results show that the lattice mismatch of the CdS/CdMnTe heterojunction is about 3.5%,the atomic positions and bond lengths of the interface change slightly after relaxation.The density of states shows that there is no interface state near the Fermi level in CdS/CdMnTe interface.Besides,the atoms at CdS/CdMnTe interface are hybridized,which can enhance the interface bonding.The differential charge density analyses indicate that the charge transfer mainly occurs at the interface,and electrons transfer from CdMnTe to CdS.The optical analysis shows that CdS/CdMnTe heterojunction mainly absorbs ultraviolet light,and the absorption coefficient can reach 105 cm-1.However,the optical properties of heterojunctions with different Mn atom positions are slightly different.In a range of 200-250 nm,the absorption coefficient of the heterojunction with Mn atom in the middle layer is larger,but in a range of 250-900 nm,the absorption peak of the heterojunction with Mn atom in the interface layer is higher.The results in this paper can provide some references for improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of stacked solar cells through the reasonable construction of the heterojunction model and the analysis of the interface photoelectric performance,which is beneficial to the experimental research of multi-band gap heterojunction.
