The selection criteria are minimization of: 1. mean square error (MSE) of the fit 2. correlated errors of the parameters of interest 3. deviation from results of other measurement techniques Comparison of parameter values obtained by ellipsometry and direct techniques Real and imaginary part of the dielectric function of CZTS films Andrea Crovetto ancro@nanotech.dtu.dk This work has been supported by a grant from the Danish Council for Strategic Research.

Solid phase has a Tauc-Lorentz dielectric function and 2.1 eV band gap (identified as amorphous Cu2-xS).
