MoS₂ semiconductor is a promising candidate for photovoltaic applications. The effect of Ag incorporation on optical properties of MoS₂ thin films was observed in this study. First principle calculations were performed before experimental investigations using well known Wien2k code for estimation of variation in parameters with incorporation of 12.5% Ag content in MoS₂. Pure and Ag incorporated MoS₂ thin films were fabricated using magnetron sputter deposition technique. Experimentally found optical parameters approximately follow the similar trend observed in simulation. A sharp increase of absorption in Ag incorporated MoS₂ thin film makes it more suitable for photovoltaic applications.

MoS ₂半导体是光伏应用的有希望的候选者。在这项研究中观察到Ag掺入对MoS ₂薄膜的光学性能的影响。在实验研究之前，使用众所周知的Wien2k码进行第一原理计算，以估计参数变化并在MoS _2中掺入12.5％Ag 。使用磁控溅射沉积技术制备了纯的和掺有Ag的MoS ₂薄膜。实验发现的光学参数大致遵循模拟中观察到的相似趋势。掺入Ag的MoS ₂薄膜中吸收的急剧增加使其更适合光伏应用。
