Popis: In this paper, we examine photoluminescence spectra (PL) of Cu2ZnSnSe4/CdS/ZnO solar cells, based on an absorber layer fabricated by selenization of sputtered Cu, Zn, Sn multilayers, via temperaturedependent and illumination power-dependent measurements. We observe anomalous emission behavior: the PL peak initially decreases with increasing temperature (red shift) in the temperature range 10– 60 K, followed by a blue shift at higher temperature in the range 60–180 K. A recombination model is proposed that is able to explain both temperature dependent PL as well as power-dependent PL. The important aspect of the proposed model is taking into account the presence of strong potential
