Abstract
Resonances of free excitons at energies A ~ 1.0409 eV, B ~ 1.0445 eV, and C ~ 1.2690 eV were detected in reflection spectra of single crystals of the direct-gap compound CuInSe2 at a temperature of 8.6 K. The appearance of the three reflection resonances A, B, and C could be explained by removal of degeneracy from valence-band energy levels due to the influence of crystal field and spin–orbit interaction on the tetragonal lattice of CuInSe2 with ΔCF ~ 5.4 meV and ΔSO ~ 224 meV. Measurements of the temperature dependence of the reflection spectra in the range 8.6–90 K showed the energies of free-exciton resonances A and B increased because of deformation of the unit cell (tetragonal stretching) of the CuInSe2 lattice with the chalcopyrite structure. The binding energies of free excitons A and B were determined as 10.7 and 152 meV based on temperature quenching of exciton resonances A ~ 1.0409 eV and B ~ 1.0445 eV
在温度为 8.6 K 的直接隙化合物 CuInSe2 单晶体的反射光谱中检测到了能量分别为 A ~ 1.0409 eV、B ~ 1.0445 eV 和 C ~ 1.2690 eV 的自由激子共振。由于晶体场和自旋轨道相互作用对 CuInSe2 四方晶格(ΔCF ~ 5.4 meV 和 ΔSO ~ 224 meV)的影响,价带能级的退行性被消除,这可以解释 A、B 和 C 三个反射共振的出现。在 8.6-90 K 范围内对反射光谱温度依赖性的测量表明,由于黄铜矿结构的 CuInSe2 晶格的单胞变形(四方伸展),自由激子共振 A 和 B 的能量增加。根据激子共振 A ~ 1.0409 eV 和 B ~ 1.0445 eV 的温度淬灭,确定自由激子 A 和 B 的结合能分别为 10.7 和 152 meV。
