Abstract
Several types of samples have been formed in the crystal growth of CuGaS2. They exhibit different colors as yellow, green and orange. Optical and elec trical properties of these varieties of CuGaS2 microcrystals have been inve stigated. The phonon spectra are. discussed according the stoichiometric de viation in the microcrystalline structure. Electrical measurements show tha t them green-colored crystal has the highest electrical conductivity and is close to stoichiometric CuGaS2. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
