Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

CuInSe2 with a tetragonal chalcopyrite structure was shown to form upon pulsed photon treatment (xenon lamps) of amorphous nearly stoichiometric films prepared by vacuum coevaporation from elemental sources. The film structure was studied by x-ray and electron diffraction techniques.
