This study investigates polycrystalline CuI thin films with varying nickel (Ni) and selenium (Se) concentrations, grown on glass substrates using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) and co-sputtering. CuI:Ni thin films, with 1*30 at% Ni and thicknesses between 0.1*1.0 µm, and CuI:Se thin films, with 0.4*3.8 at% Se and ∼1.0 µm thickness, were prepared and capped with Al2O3 layers to prevent oxidation. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) at low temperatures (∼10 K) was conducted at the Cu, Se, and Ni K-edges to study the local structure of Ni and Se in the CuI matrix. The near edge structure and extended fine structure for a pure CuI thin film at the Cu K-edge suggests possible Cu oxidation. For CuI:Ni thin films, an increase in Ni concentration correlates with reduced Cu oxidation because Ni prefers to bond with oxygen rather than iodine, forming disordered NiO as seen from the Ni K-edge spectra. For CuI:Se thin films, the Cu K-edge spectra show small changes but no clear trend with Se content and the Se K-edge spectra indicate a Cu neighborhood similar to Cu2Se and CuSe. Quantitative analyses are in progress to provide a deeper understanding of how Ni and Se content affects local structural changes.
