Abstract:The Cu/Sn/S stack was obtained at room temperature by the thermal evaporation technique at vacuum ~ 2 x 10− 4 Pa using sequentially evaporated layer deposition (SELD) technique on corning 2947 substrate. The as-deposited stack was regrown to provide Cu3SnS4 (CTS) phase on annealing at temperatures varying from 623 to 723 K for one hour in vacuum level ~ 2 x 10− 1 Pa. The as-deposited stack exhibits amorphous behaviour, whereas films grown at annealing temperature (TA) from 623–723 K attain nanostructured Cu3Sn… Show more
