Polymorphism in Cu2ZnSnS4 and new off-stoichiometric crystal structure types (2017)
Journal Article
Bosson, C. J., Birch, M. T., Halliday, D. P., Tang, C. C., Kleppe, A. K., & Hatton, P. D. (2017). Polymorphism in Cu2ZnSnS4 and new off-stoichiometric crystal structure types. Chemistry of Materials, 29(22), 9829-9839. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.7b04010

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a very promising material for the absorber layer in sustainable thin-film solar cells. Its photovoltaic performance is currently limited by crystal structure disorder, which causes fluctuations in electrostatic potential that decr...

Bulk single crystals of zinc telluride up to 10 mm thick have been grown by the Multi-Tube Physical Vapour Transport technique and doped, in-situ during growth, with oxygen. Following hetero-epitaxial nucleation and buffer growth on 100 mm diameter G...
