The band alignment at the Cu 2 ZnSn (S, Se) 4/CdS solar cell heterojunction is a controversial issue, as different measurements and calculations point to substantially …
The electronic structure of the CdS/Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) heterojunction was investigated by direct and inverse photoemission. The effects of a KCN etch of the CZTS absorber prior to …
The heterojunctions of different n-type buffers, ie, CdS, Zn (O, S), and In 2 S 3 on p-type Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) were investigated using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Near …
