Thin films based on earth abundant and non-toxic elements comprising Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS), Cu2FeSnSe4 (CFTSe), Cu2(ZnyFe1-y) SnS4 (CZFTS), Cu2(ZnyFe1-y) Sn (SxSe1-x)4 (CZFTSSe) have been deposited by Aerosol Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (AACVD) from mixtures of molecular precursors. These materials are highly important for optoelectronic and solar energy applications. The structure, morphology, composition, optical and electrical properties of the deposited materials were investigated.
