Abstract
Crystals of the compounds CuInSe2, CuInTe2, ZnSe, and ZnTe, and the solid solutions (CuInSe2) x ·(2ZnSe)1−x and (CuInTe2) x ·(2ZnTe)1−x were grown by the Bridgman and chemical transport reactions methods. Their transmission and reflection spectra in the region of the main absorption line edge were studied. The forbidden band gap of the indicated materials was determined and its concentration dependences were built for the solid solutions. It is established that the forbidden band gap changes linearly with the x composition and is satisfactorily described by the square-law dependence.
