THE EFFECT OF ANNEALING PRESSURE AND TIME ON THE CRYSTALLINITY OF CZTSe [PDF]
Surface Review and Letters, 2019 In this study, the effect of annealing pressure and time on the homogeneity and the formation of kesternite (Cu2ZnSnSe4; CZTSe) structure was investigated. The deposition of CZTSe coating was carried out using an electroplating method. The morphology and crystal structure of the coating were investigated using SEM–EDS, XRD and Raman spectroscopy ...
