Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnGeS4 thin films made from the earth abundant and non-toxic materials are quaternary semiconducting compounds which have received increasing interest for solar cells applications. Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnGeS4 thin films have been synthesized by sulfurization of radio frequency magnetron...
