Optical Analysis of Tlins2xse2(1-X) Mixed Crystals

Abstract

The ellipsometry measurements were carried out on TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals in the spectral range of 1.5-6.0 eV at room temperature. The refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of dielectric function were found as a result of ellipsometric measurements. The energies of interband transitions (critical point energies) of the TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals were obtained by means of the second derivative of the real and imaginary parts of dielectric function. The variation of the critical point energies with the isomorphic anion substitution that is sulfur for selenium atoms was established. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
