The kesterite material Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) and its Ge-substituted derivative Cu₂ZnGeS₄ (CZGS) are considered as good absorber material for photovoltaic applications. Here, we study the X-ray absorption spectra of CZTS and CZGS by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation of many-body perturbation theory on top of density-functional theory. The ab-initio calculations are carried out using the all-electron full-potential code exciting. Special emphasis is put on comparative studies of the sulfur K and L_2,3 edges in CZTS and CZGS as well as in its stable binary phase ZnS. A detailed analysis and interpretation of the observed spectral signatures, in particular, the Coulomb interaction between core hole and conduction electrons is performed.
