Explanation of Light/Dark Superposition Failure in CIGS Solar Cells (MRS, Spring 2003) Markus Gloeckler, Caroline R. Jenkins, and James R. Sites Physics Department, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA ABSTRACT CIGS solar cells in many cases show a failure of light/dark superposition of their current-voltage (J-V) curves. Such failure generally becomes more pronounced at lower temperatures. J-V measurements under red light may also show an additional distortion, known historically as the “red kink”. The proposed explanation is that a secondary barrier results from the con
