摘要: Abstract We have grown high-quality AgGaS 2 single crystals with a chalcopyrite structure. Using an optical absorption measurement, the energy band gap was determined by means of Elliott-Toyozawa model. The anomalous variation at T compound displaying same behavior. exponentially increasing tail explained in terms Urbach temperature range 100–300 K. Characteristic parameters, including steepness parameter and as function temperature, well effective phonon ħω , were obtained. spectra is dominated effect thermal disorder rather than structural and/or deviation from stoichiometry.
