Once CZTS is formed, element volatility is less of a problem but even then CZTS will decompose into binary and ternary compounds in vacuum at temperatures above 500 �C . This volatility and difficulty of preparing a single-phase material has resulted in the success of many traditional vacuum methods.

According to Rustum Roy and Olaf M�ller, " the chemistry of the entire mineral world informs us that " chemical " complexity can easily be accommodated within structural simplicity . " The example of zircon is cited, where various metal atoms are replaced in the same crystal structure . " The structural entity . . . remains ternary in character and is able to accommodate an enormous range of chemical elements . " The great variety of ternary compounds is therefore reduced to relatively few structures : " By dealing with approximately ten ternary structural groupings we can cover the most important structures of science and technology specific to the non-metallics world.
