abstract = {Cu(In,Ga)Se2 is one of the most promising material systems
for thin film photovoltaics with record efficiencies above
$20\%$ on laboratory scale. The material crystallizes in the
chalcopyrite type crystal structure where the anion is
typically displaced from the ideal tetrahedral lattice site
due to the different properties of the neighbouring cations.
This subtle structural variation has a strong influence on
the energy band gap. Therefore, we have studied the
atomic-scale structure of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 as a function of
composition using extended X-ray absorption fine structure
spectroscopy and valence force field simulations [1]. The
element-specific In-Se, Ga-Se and Cu-Se bond lengths are
strikingly different from each other and remain close to the
values of the ternary parent compounds despite the
significant change of the lattice constants. The local
atomic arrangements thus deviate significantly from the
long-range crystallographic structure. Furthermore, the
material is characterised by structural inhomogeneity on the
atomic scale even if compositional fluctuations or secondary
phases are absent. Regarding the anion position, two
different displacement mechanisms have to be distinguished
both of which influence the nonlinear change of the band gap
with material composition. Similar results were also
obtained for Cu(In,Ga)S2 indicating that our findings
represent general features of these highly relevant yet
complex chalcopyrite semiconductors [2]. [1] C. S. Schnohr,
