Spectroscopic investigation of chiral absorption bands in [ ]CdGa2(1−x)In2xS4 has been carried out at 55K. The origin of these bands is attributed to both the complex structure of the midgap defect states created by inhomogeneity in as-grown samples and the presence of ordered vacancies at cadmium sites. The appearance of chiral bands are associated with dangling bonds in ordered vacancies which help to bring the component of the magnetic dipole moment parallel to the electric dipole moment. The cause for rotation of electric vector of the field is also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
