Strain effects on the electronic, optical and electrical properties of Cu2ZnSnS4: DFT study

Based on the density functional theory and Boltzmann transport theory, we investigated electronic, electrical and optical properties of Kesterite CZTS under different strain conditions. Our results indicate that both biaxial compressive and tensile strain effects lead to change in the band gap of th...
