The improvement of hole transport property and optical band gap for amorphous Cu2O films

Suppression of crystallization for p-type Cu2O is observed to facilitate the transition of transport behaviors from variable-range-hopping to the Arrhenius-like behavior based on the band tail transport mode. The amorphous Cu2O film also shows a blue shift as compared to its crystalline counterpart. The effect of amorphous structure on the performances is discussed in combination with Raman spectroscopy and band structure calculation.196
