The structure of Cu₂ZnSnS₄ films was investigated by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, optical reflectance and photoluminescence. The films were formed by thermal annealing layers of copper, zinc and tin sulfides on glass substrates at different...
