摘要: We report the linear behavior of band-tail parameter as a function reciprocal grain size in polycrystalline CdTe. On other hand, study full width at half maximum x-ray diffraction peak shows similar behavior, which indicates that disorder increases diminishes. A theoretical analysis justifies is ruled by contribution grain-boundary traps, and trap concentration calculated. Both results constitute experimental evidences disorder, was quantified, demonstrate it caused extension effect into grain.
