Organization of anisotropic nanomaterials

Abstract

Ternary nontoxic I-III-VI compound,CulnS2 has been regarded as a good candidate foe the future generation of solar harvester because of its theoretical direct band-gap that is well matched with the optimal spectral range for photovoltaic applications. Compound which is generally mentioned as CIS(Copper Indium Sulfide) also has other interesting optical properties , making it possible to be developed as lasers and light-emitting applications. Further, the anisotropic shape of its nano-crystals (NC) is the focus of this current study since it gives rise to all attractive properties of CIS. [1st Award]
