Preparation and Optical Properties of ZnIn2Se4 Crystals

Abstract
Absorption edge, photoresponse, and reflectance measurements have been carried out on ZnIn2Se4 crystals grown by means of chemical transport reactions. Indirect and direct energy gaps were determined as E gi=1.74 eV and E gd=1.92 eV at LNT. Reflectance measurements have been done in the 1.5–25 eV energy range. The Kramers-Kronig analysis has been performed and optical constants of studied semiconductor have been claculated. Reflectance data (R) and calculated imaginary part (ε 2) of dielectric function allowed to make some conclusions about interband transitions. Singularities in R, ε 2 and valence electron concentration per atom (neff) were basis for conclusion that d band–conduction band transitions at energy about 12.5 eV have been observed.
