Abstract

The exploration of materials with multifunctional properties is essential for technological advancements so that the ever-growing demand for optoelectronics, photonics, and energy conversion systems can be met. On this count, the vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger technique was employed to grow the ZnIn₂Se₄ crystals. The lattice parameters and phase formation of the as-grown crystal were verified by implementing single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction techniques. The ZnIn₂Se₄ crystal's optical transmission was determined, and a Tauc plot was utilized to determine the band gap. According to the FTIR analysis, the ZnIn₂Se₄ crystal exhibits relatively high transmittance. Employing TG/DSC analysis, the melting and solidification temperatures were ascertained. By utilizing energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, the stoichiometry of the grown crystal was determined. Hall measurement was performed to determine the sample's electrical characteristics. From the range of temperatures 300 K–370 K, the dielectric constant and loss were measured for the grown crystal. At 1064 nm, the laser damage threshold value was determined to be 57.86 GW/cm².

Bridgman-Stockbarger法生长ZnIn2Se4晶体的结构、光学、热学、电学和非线性光学特性的潜力利用

探索具有多功能特性的材料对于技术进步至关重要，因此可以满足对光电子学，光子学和能量转换系统不断增长的需求。在此基础上，采用垂直Bridgman-Stockbarger技术生长ZnIn2Se4晶体。采用单晶和粉末x射线衍射技术对生长晶体的晶格参数和相形成进行了验证。测定了ZnIn2Se4晶体的光透射率，并利用Tauc图确定了带隙。FTIR分析表明，ZnIn2Se4晶体具有较高的透过率。采用TG/DSC分析，确定了熔点和凝固温度。利用能量色散x射线分析，确定了生长晶体的化学计量学。进行霍尔测量以确定样品的电特性。在300 ~ 370 K的温度范围内，测量了生长晶体的介电常数和损耗。在1064 nm处，激光损伤阈值为57.86 GW/cm2。
