  • Abstract
    Temperature dependent time resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL) measurements have been performed in similar structured kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 and chalcopyrite Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin film absorbers. It is investigated that at 26 K the measured lifetime values for a set of CZTSSe samples are more than one order magnitude higher than at room temperature whereas in CIGS this difference is not significant. At room temperature the significantly lower photoluminescence emission and minority carrier lifetime for CZTSSe comparing to CIGS suggest that the dominant non-radiative recombination processes are associated with CZTSSe than CIGS and it can limit the efficiency of CZTSSe based solar cells.
