• 2020. n-Mg2Si/p-Si heterojunction solar cell with a 1.4 µm thick unintentionally doped (n = 3 × 1017 cm−3) silicide epitaxial layer on p-Si(1 1 1) (p = 5 × 1014 cm−3) was grown by low temperature (250 °C) molecular beam epitaxy. Heterojunction demonstrated clear rectification and zero bias photoresponse in the (400–1400) nm wavelength range at room temperature. Under AM 1.5 illumination, an open-circuit voltage of 0.21 V, a short-circuit current density of 3.3 mA/cm2, fill factor of 0.36 were obtained while the conversion efficiency reached 0.24%, which is the pioneering demonstration of Mg2Si-based solar cell operation. Combined minority-carrier lifetime, Raman and AFM mapping together with TEM and XRD data revealed that carrier dynamics and photovoltaic performance are limited by the presence of non-epitaxial Mg2Si grains in the upper silicide film layer. However, minority-carrier lifetime up to 7.3 µs for Mg2Si demonstrates its great potential as absorbing material for Si-based solar cells.

• 2021. Nanocrystalline CaSi films with a thickness of 80 to 130 nm were grown on high-resistance silicon substrates with the (111) and (100) orientations by low-temperature (190-330 °C) molecular-beam epitaxy and low-temperature (330 °C) solid-phase epitaxy, for which studied the micro-structure, phase composition and crystal structure. It was found that polycrystalline, nanocrystalline (NC) and amorphous films of CaSi and CaSi2 were first detected by the dominant contribution of holes in the range 1.4-300 K. In magnetic fields of 1-4 T and at temperatures of 40-100 K, a giant linear magnetoresistive effect (up to 500 %). In CaSi2 films with the contribution of the second phase (CaSi), a peak at temperatures of 100-200 K was found on the temperature dependences of the resistivity and Hall coefficient, which corresponds to a phase transition. Additionally, in this film, a transition from positive to negative MRE was found at T=120-200 K. This effect was not detected in a single-phase CaSi2 film that corresponds to a certain rearrangement in the magnetic field of carrier fluxes only in a two-phase system. The study of thermoelectric properties of CaSi and CaSi2 films showed that the semimetallic type of conductivity in them leads to the independence of the positive Seebeck coefficient at T=330-450 K. It was found that the maximum contribution to the Seebeck coefficient and power factor is observed in an amorphous CaSi film in the presence of a certain fraction of the NC Ca2Si phase. In single-phase CaSi2 films, a twofold decrease in the Seebeck coefficient and power factor is observed due to an increase in the hole concentration in comparison with CaSi films.
