Growth of Cu2ZnSnS4 Single Crystal by Traveling Heater Method

A Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) single crystal was grown at 900 degrees C, which is less than its melting point (962 degrees C) using a traveling heater method, which is one of the solution growth methods. No twins and no secondary phases could be distinguished from the Laue and X-ray diffraction patterns, respectively. (C) 2011 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
