Abstract

The spectral distribution of the photoconductivity and the temperature dependence of the photocurrent of MnIn2S4 single crystals are investigated. The intrinsic, impurity photoconductivity and a maximum at an energy of 2.69 eV, which is associated with the intracenter transition of Mn2+ ions (6A1→4A1), are revealed
 in the photoconductivity spectrum. The region of the wavelengths of 600–1000 nm appears with an excess of manganese in the crystals and is caused by a donor defect. At temperatures of 80—145 K, the increase in the photocurrent is associated with the thermal depletion of the adhesion levels. The activation energy of the adhesion levels is determined.
