Abstract
Large-block CuxAg1-xS2 (x = 0-1.0) crystals were grown by directional solidification in a two-zone furnace, and their microhardness, transmi ssion spectra at the fundamental edge, and IR transmission spectra in the range from 150 to 400 cm(-1) were measured. The composition depend ence of microhardness exhibits a maximum, and the composition dependen ce of the band gap shows nonlinear behavior. The frequencies of optica l phonons were determined as a function of composition.
