Abstract

LnIn3S6 (Ln = La, Nd, Yb) crystals were grown by chemical vapor transport. All the LnIn3S6 compounds were shown to be isostructural and to crystallize in orthorhombic symmetry (sp. gr.Pbam, Z = 4;a = 4.06-3.80 Å,b = 11.84-11.62 Å, c = 21.35-20.94 Å). The LnIn3S6 compounds aren-type semiconductors, with a band gap increasing from 1.03 to 1.27 eV in going from LaIn3S6 to LuIn3S6. Current-voltage, current-light, and photocurrent measurements demonstrate that LaIn3S6, SmIn3S6, GdIn3S6, HoIn3S6, and DyIn3S6 crystals are photosensitive in the near-IR spectral region.
