Abstract

The optical properties of Tl2Ga2S3Se layered crystalline semiconductors were investigated from transmission, reflection and ellipsometric measurements. The experimental results of the room temperature transmission and reflection measurements performed in the wavelength range of 400–1100nm showed the presence of both indirect and direct transitions in the band structure of the crystals with 2.38 and 2.62eV band gap energies.Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements on Tl2Ga2S3Se crystals were carried out on the layer-plane (001) surfaces with light polarization E⊥c⁎ in the 1.20–4.70eV spectral range at room temperature. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function as well as refractive and absorption indices were found as a result of analysis of ellipsometric data. The Wemple–DiDomenico single-effective-oscillator model was used to study the dispersion of the refractive index in the below band gap energy range. The structures of critical points have been characterized from the second derivative spectra of the dielectric function. The analysis revealed four interband transition structures with 3.14, 3.40, 3.86 and 4.50eV critical point energies.
