Abstract

The II-IV-nitrides are an alloy series analogous to the well-characterized III-nitrides, where a Group II and Group IV element replace the Group III element. We report on the fabrication and structural and optoelectronic characterization of earth-abundant II-IV-nitrides: ZnSn_xGe_(1-x)N_2. The sputtered thin-films show potential for ZnSn_xGe_(1-x)N_2 to be tunable semiconductor photovoltaic absorber materials.
