摘要
The effects of Sm doping into CuInTe_(2) chalcopyrite on the cohesive energy before and after light absorption are systematically investigated by the empirical electron theory(EET) of solids and molecules.The results show that the static energy of CuIn_(1-x)Sm_(x)Te_(2) decreases with Sm content increasing due to the valence electronic structure modulated by doping Sm into CuIn_(1-x)Sm_(x)Te_(2).The calculated optical absorption transition energy from the static state to the excited energy level in CuIn_(1-x)Sm_(x)Te_(2) accords well with the experimental absorption bandgap of CuIn_(1-x)Sm_(x)Te_(2).Moreover,it is found that the energy bandgap of CuIn_(1-x)Sm_(x)Te_(2) is significantly widened with Sm content increasing due to its special valent electron structure,which is favorable for enhancing the light absorption in a wider range and also for the potential applications in solar cells.
