Optical absorption and photoconductivity of MnGaInS4 single crystals in polarized light

详细

The results of studying optical-absorption and spectral curves of photoconductivity in MnGaInS₄ single crystals are presented for two light polarizations (E || C and E ⊥ C). The intrinsic absorption edge and the band-gap width of MnGaInS4 single crystals in polarized light are determined. The anisotropy of optical absorption and photoconductivity spectrum of MnGaInS₄ single crystals is observed. It is suggested that the polarization splitting of the absorption edge is related to the splitting of the MnGaInS₄ valence band.
