Kesterites—a challenging material for solar cells
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, 2012 ABSTRACTKesterite materials (Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4) are made from non‐toxic, earth‐abundant and low‐cost raw materials. We summarise here the structural and electronic material data relevant for the solar cells. The equilibrium structure of both Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 is the kesterite structure.

Regulating properties of Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4 absorber layer via the extra tiny Mg2+
Micro & Nano Letters, 2023 Extra cation incorporations have been proved to enhance the properties of Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4 materials, and help to obtain high‐efficiency solar cells. In this work, the authors study the influence of the extra tiny Mg2+ doping on the properties of Cu2ZnSn ...

The three A symmetry Raman modes of kesterite in Cu_2ZnSnSe_4
Optics Express, 2013 We investigate CZTSe films by polarization dependent Raman spectroscopy. The main peaks at 170 cm(-1), and 195 cm(-1) are found to have A symmetry. The Raman signal at 170 cm(-1) is found to be composed of two modes at 168 cm(-1) and 172 cm(-1). We attribute these three Raman peaks to the three A symmetry modes predicted for kesterite ordered Cu(2 ...
