abstract = {The aim of this study is to establish reliable
spectroscopic fingerprints of compounds that may form as
secondary phases in Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanocrystals (NCs)
synthesized by “green” colloidal chemistry directly in
aqueous solutions or during post-processing of NC films for
photovoltaic application. For this purpose, we investigated
a series of binary and ternary compound NCs synthesized
under the same conditions as the quaternary CZTS NCs. The
capabilities of combined Raman and X-ray photoemission (XPS)
spectroscopies are used to identify these compounds formed
separately and define spectral fingerprints for
distinguishing them as possible secondary phases in the
spectra of CZTS NCs. Besides the conventional analysis of
element ratios and chemical shifts of the core-level peaks
in the XPS spectra, the careful analysis of Auger lines and
modified Auger parameters are applied to distinguish
otherwise similar spectral contributions of different
compounds. In the case of CuxS NCs the binding energy
separation between the Cu2p3/2 and S2p3/2 core-levels is
used as the additional fingerprint. As a criterion of a
certain crystal structure in Raman spectroscopy, we rely not
only on frequency positions of particular phonon modes but
also on selective probing of different compounds at
different (resonant) excitation wavelengths. The reasons of
controversial previous reports on Raman spectra of CuxS are
revealed and characteristic Raman spectra of Sn-poor Cu-Sn-S
and Sn-poor Zn-Sn-S are proposed. For Cu-Zn-S, a mixture of
CuxS and ZnS is formed under the given mild conditions
rather than ternary compounds or alloys.},
