Recent reports of hot-electron-induced dissociation of small molecules, such as hydrogen, demonstrate the potential application of plasmonic nanostructures for harvesting light to initiate catalytic reactions. Theories have assumed that plasmonic …
Probe-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to characterize the inter- and intraparticle compositional inhomogeneity of multinary Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles. CZTS nanoparticles were …
Wurtzite-derived copper−zinc−tin sulfide nanoparticle films were observed to undergo a phase transformation to a kesterite phase when exposed to Se vapor at 500 °C. The resulting dense and selenized Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) films were found to have the …
