摘要
This note presents results on Hall effect characteristics (mobility and density of majority charge carriers) of undoped p-type and n-doped pyrite thin films. Carrier mobilities between 200 and 0.07 cm(2)/V s have been measured in undoped p-type films. Doped n-type films present values which vary from 200 to 0.1 cm(2)/V s. The corresponding carrier densities change from 2 x 10(18) to 10(22) cm(-3) in p-type films and from 6 x 10(17) to 10(21) cm(-3) in n-type films. These results reinforce the physical basis and conclusions of the modelling of pyrite solar cells accomplished by Altermatt et at. (Sol. Energy Mater. Sol. Cells 71 (2002) 181).
