Deep insights into energy materials utilizing anomalous X-ray diffraction

Cation arrangement, disorder and defects substantially impact the optoelectronic properties of multinary semiconductors [1].While often an inconvenience, this also provides opportunities to enhance optical properties such that improved absorption coefficient and photovoltaic device efficiency can be achieved [1].Due to the fundamental relationship between atomic geometry, electronic structure and physical properties such tuning requires a solid knowledge of the atomistic material structure.
