Growth of CuGaS2 Single Crystals by Traveling Heater Method

Abstract
Growth of bulk CuGaS2 single crystals by the traveling heater method (THM) with In solvent has been investigated. The THM growth was performed at 1050°C, where the In solution saturated with stoichiometric CuGaS2 solute is a single liquid phase. The obtained single crystals were solid solutions CuGa x In1-x S2, and the mole fraction 1-x of CuInS2 was 0.02–0.03 along the entire crystal length. The photoluminescence spectra show a weak near-band-edge emission peak and two strong and broad low-energy emission peaks.
