| Abstract: | From the analysis of the variation of optical absorption coefficient  with incident photon energy between 0.8 and 2.6 eV, obtained from ellipsometric data, the energy EG of the fundamental absorption edge and EG′ of the forbidden direct transition for CuInxGa1?xSe2 alloys are estimated. The change in EG and the spin-orbit splitting ΔSO=EG′?EG with the composition x can be represented by parabolic expression of the form EG(x)=EG(0)+ax+bx2 and ΔSO(x)=ΔSO(0)+a′x+b′x2, respectively. b and b′ are called “bowing parameters”. Theoretical fit gives a=0.875 eV, b=0.198 eV, a′=0.341 eV and b′=?0.431 eV. The positive sign of b and negative sign of b′ are in agreement with the theoretical prediction of Wei and Zunger Phys. Rev. B 39 (1989) 6279]. |
