摘要: Abstract We report on measurements of X-ray photoelectron core-level and valence-band spectra for pristine Ar+ ion-bombarded surfaces Cu2CdGeS4 single crystal. Electronic structure the compound is studied from both theoretical experimental viewpoints. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations employing augmented plane wave + local orbitals (APW + lo) method as incorporated in WIEN2k package are used to explore total partial densities states Cu2CdGeS4. The reveal that Cu 3d Cd 4d dominant contributors valence band: they contribute mainly at top bottom band. Additionally, indicate conduction band composed unoccupied Ge 4s S 3p states. Data present DFT confirmed experimentally by comparison a common energy scale emission bands representing distribution d, p XPS spectrum Main optical characteristics explored first-principles calculations.
