C. Larez et al., ALLOY COMPOSITION AND TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ABSORPTION-EDGE IN CUGAXIN1-XSE2, Applied physics letters, 65(13), 1994, pp. 1650-1652
We have proposed a semi-empirical expression for the alloy composition
and temperature dependence of the fundamental energy gap in the CuGa(
I)n(1-x)Se(2) alloy system. A good agreement between theoretical predi
ctions and available experimental data is found. It seems that such se
mi-empirical expressions are of considerable importance for the analys
is of results on new ternary and quaternary compounds and its alloys f
or which detailed studies based on a more fundamental analysis are not
available.
