In this contribution we will present results of an investigation of strain distributions inside of individual Cu(In,Ga)Se2 nanocyrstallites located inside a solar cell absorber layer. The strain is imaged using synchrotron radiation.
We find that the investigated crystallites are non homogeneously strained. The strain is produced by surrounding nanocrystals in the polycrystalline semiconductor film and carries information about the intercrystalline interactions. The measurements are done non destructively and without additional sample preparation or X-ray beam nanofocusing.
The demonstrated technique provides a way for connecting variations in the properties of individual crystallites inside of a working solar cell to the resulting energy conversion efficiency.
