Abstract

The synthesis of multinary compound films from layered precursors is only partially understood. Identical location microscopy resolves the multi-step synthesis of Cu2ZnSnSe4 from metallic stacks on the micron-scale. Large scale metal alloying and the seemingly illogical observation that ZnSe segregates preferentially on locations previously poor of zinc are revealed.
