Abstract
Thin films of the ternary compound CuGaTe2 were prepared by pulsed laser-assisted evaporation. Their structure and unit cell parameters were determined by an x-ray method. The transmission spectra near the fundamental absorption edge were used to determine the energies of the interband optical transitions, and the crystal (Δ cr) and spin-orbit (Δ∞) splittings were calculated.
