The metal sulfides exhibit a great diversity of electrical and magnetic properties with both
scientific interest and practical applications. These properties apply major constraints on …

Cu2ZnSnS4 is considered as the ideal absorption layer material in next generation thin film
solar cells due to the abundant component elements in the crust being nontoxic and …

ABSTRACT Kesterite materials (Cu2ZnSn (S, Se) 4) are made from non‐toxic, earth‐
abundant and low‐cost raw materials. We summarise here the structural and electronic …

First-principles calculations for the potential photovoltaic material Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) are
presented using density functional theory and the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof exchange …

The intermixing of stannite and kesterite, ie Cu2Fe1− xZnxSnS4, was investigated by a
combination of neutron and X-ray powder diffraction. Samples with 0≤ x≤ 1 were …

Thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS), a potential candidate for absorber layer in thin film
heterojunction solar cell, have been successfully deposited by spray pyrolysis technique on …

Quaternary semiconductor Cu2MSnS4 (M= Co2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, Mn2+) nanocrystals have
been successfully synthesized via a simple and mild solvothermal method. Cu2FeSnS4 and …

Next generation thin film photovoltaics actually face several great challenges: they have to
compete with wafer-based silicon based modules in terms of efficiency, costs and production …

Abstract Thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS), a potential candidate for absorber layer in thin
film heterojunction solar cell, have been deposited by spray pyrolysis technique onto soda …

Light harvesting chalcogenide materials have strong potential applications for photovoltaic
due, in part, to the ability of their structures to accommodate shift from the ideal …
