Abstract
The results of the energy band structure calculations of A 2B 4C 2 5 compounds are reviewed, and the differences in the energy spectra passing from A 3B 5 semiconductors to their closest ternary analogs are described. The origin of the lowest conduction band minima of A 2B 4C 2 5 compounds was determined from the slopes of the fundamental absorption edge and the pressure coefficients of the energy gap. The investigations of the valence band structure from electroreflectance (ER), thermoreflectance (TR) and wavelength modulated absorption (WMA) spectra are reviewed. In the higher energy region the ER and TR spectra of A 2B 4C 2 5 compounds were found to be more complicated in comparison with those of their binary analogs. A model of an assignment of the structures in optical spectra of A 2B 4C 2 5 compounds is discussed.
