Addition of chromium was observed to deteriorate the Cu2ZnSnS4 crystallinity as well as inducing the growth of cubic-ZnCr2S4 secondary phase. Grain size as large as 0.5 �m was observed for the doped sample. Bandgap was found to vary (1.51�1.70 eV), whereas the deep level defect state was calculated to be positioned at 0.20�0.33 eV above the valence band maximum (VBM) depending on the chromium concentration. � 2018 Final 2023-05-29T06:51:55Z 2023-05-29T06:51:55Z 2018 Article 10.1016/j.matlet.2018.03.056 2-s2.0-85044030222 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85044030222&doi=10.1016%2fj.matlet.2018.03.056&partnerID=40&md5=333a93ab87ab78c85dae06a021f0a665 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/23798 221 22 25 Elsevier B.V.
