Abstract

In this work, the effect of irradiation with electrons with an energy of 8 MeV on the surface topology, distribution of surface potentials, electronic structure, and Raman spectra of Cu₂SnS₃ samples doped with 4 % indium (CTS:In) were investigated. The CTS:In samples contain two crystal phases: tetragonal t-CTS and cubic c-CTS. The cubic c-CTS phase was deformed by electron irradiation. The grain structure modification on the surface of CTS:In under the influence of electrons and the disappearance of high positive potentials detected at the grain boundaries before irradiation were discovered. The peak associated with the In_Sn defects is shifted from +49 mV to +44 mV. This is related to the tearing out of indium atoms from site states of tin onto the surface of the CTS:In samples. This is confirmed by the study of the electronic structure of the CTS:In samples before and after irradiation.
