The X-ray diffraction has revealed that CuIn5S8 is a single phase crystal of cubic spinet structure. The value of the unit cell parameter for this crystal is 1.06736 nm. The crystal is assigned to the conventional space group Fd3m. The photocurrent is found to have the characteristic of monomolecular and bimolecular recombination at low and high illumination intensities, respectively. The electrical resistivity and Hall effect of CuIn5S8 crystals are measured in the temperature range of 50-400 K. The crystals are found to be intrinsic and extrinsic above and below 300 K, respectively. An energy band gap of similar to1.35 eV at 0 K, a carrier effective mass of 0.2 m(0), an acceptor to donor concentration ratio of 0.9, an acoustic phonon deformation potential of 10 eV and a nonpolar optical phonon deformation potential of 15 eV are identified from the resistivity and Hall measurements. The Hall mobility data are analyzed assuming the carrier scattering by polar optical phonons, acoustic combined with nonpolar optical phonons, and ionized impurities.

Hasanlı, Nızamı; Tas, M (Wiley, 2000-01-01)
Variation of the lattice parameters of TlTl1-xInxSe2 chain mixed crystals with composition have been studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The lattice anisotropy (c/a) of the TlBX2-type mixed crystals changes linearly with substitution of the atoms located bath at the center and at the vertices of the BX4 tetrahedra. A brief survey of the important features of the effect of isomorphic atom substitution on the lattice anisotropy of TlBX2-type mixed crystals with chain structure has been presented.

The optical properties of Tl2InGaSe4 layered single crystals have been studied through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 nm. The analysis of room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 1.86 and 2.05 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K revealed that the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature is gamma = -4...

The conductivity type conversion from p- to n-type at a critical temperature of 315 K in TlGaS2 crystals is observed through the Hall effect measurements in the temperature range of 200-350 K. The analysis of the temperature-dependent electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient and carrier concentration data reveals the extrinsic type of conduction with donor impurity levels that behave as acceptor levels when are empty. The data analysis allowed the calculation of hole and electron effective masses of 0.36m(0...
