The reflection spectroscopy of chalcopyrite
CuGaS2
and CuInS2
single crystals has been applied for light polarized perpendicular () and parallel () to the optical axis in the photon energy range between 1.5 and 6 eV at 77 K.
By using the Kramers–Kronig relations, the spectral dependences of the real
ε1 and
imaginary ε2
components of the complex dielectric function
ε(E) = ε1(E)+iε2(E)
have been calculated for the investigated materials. As a result, the energy band structure of
CuGaS2 and
CuInS2 at photon
energies higher than the fundamental band gap is derived from the analysis of the structures observed
in ε(ω)
spectra. Additionally, the spectral dependences of the complex
refractive index, extinction coefficient and absorption coefficient
s of
CuGaS2
and CuInS2
single crystals are determined in the 1.5–6 eV photon energy range.
Photoreflectivity, wavelength modulation spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements of CuGaSe2 are used to determine the exciton and band parameters as well as the energy band structure of CuGaSe2 at photon energies higher than the fundamental band gap. The spectral dependences of the real ε1 and imaginary ε2 components of the complex dielectric function ε(E) = ε1 (E) + iε2(E) are calculated using the Kramers–Kronig relations. As a result, the energy band structure of CuGaSe2 at photon energies higher than the fundamental band gap is derived from the analysis of the structures observed both in the ε (ω) and in the wavelength modulated reflectivity spectra.
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.
