Iodine doping of amorphous carbon thin films deposited using camphoric carbon precursor / Dayana Kamaruzaman

Amorphous carbon (a-C) is expected to be an excellent material for fabricating low cost and high efficiency carbon based solar cells because of its interesting properties and feasibility of band gap engineering over a wide range. The preparation of a-C thin films was carried out by using thermal che...
