Process dependent variations in direct band-gap energies, Urbach tail widths, bulk and surface defect densities of the films are given as a function of composition. Differences in the PDS and CPM absorption spectra of more than one order of magnitude are found. Using the standard a-Si theory of PDS and CPM analysis, a two-layer system consisting of a defect-rich near-surface layer and a less defective bulk layer is found in device-quality films. Optical improvements due to the Ga+Se annealing step as a second stage of the growth process result in a reduced bulk defect density while the near-surface defect density remains unchanged.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1501745","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,8,30]],"date-time":"2002-08-30T17:02:52Z","timestamp":1030726972000},"page":"3016-3020","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Direct measurement of Urbach tail and gap state absorption in CuGaSe2 thin films by photothermal deflection spectroscopy and the constant photocurrent method"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Meeder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hahn-Meitner-Institut GmbH, Glienicker Strasse 100, D-14109 Berlin, Germany"}]},{"given":"D.
