The electronic structure of AgCd2GaS4 crystal has been studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Chemical bonding effects have been observed by comparative analysis of binding energies of element core levels and crystal structure of AgCd2GaS4 and several ternary sulfides. It has been...

To optimise the choice of the compounds for a selected application, a better understanding of the role of each alloy constituent on the electronic properties of the material is crucial. In this work, we study experimentally the electronic properties of nanocrystalline and polycrystalline...
