Abstract

Single crystals of the ternary CuGa3Te5 and CuGa5Te8 ternary compounds are grown and their properties are studied. The photosensitive In/p-CuGa3Te5 and In/p-CuGa5Te8 structures were formed on homogeneous crystals for the first time. Photoelectric properties of new structures were studied and the parameters of the structures and of new semiconductors were determined; it is concluded that these structures can be used in broadband photoconverters of nonpolarized radiation.
