Abstract
(Ag3AsS3)x(As2S3)1–x (x = 0.3; 0.6; 0.9) thin films were deposited onto a silica substrate by rapid thermal evaporation. The amount of Ag-rich crystalline phase precipitates on the surfaces of the films increases with Ag3AsS3 content. It has been shown that the absorption edge spectra are described by the Urbach rule. The temperature behaviour of absorption spectra was studied, the temperature dependences of energy position of absorption edge and Urbach energy were also investigated. The influence of compositional disordering due to Ag3AsS3 introduction into As2S3 on the optical parameters of (Ag3AsS3)x(As2S3)1–x thin films were analyzsed. The spectral, temperature and compositional behaviour of refractive index for (Ag3AsS3)x(As2S3)1–x thin films were studied.

Thermally stimulated conductivity in InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire heterostructures
Thermally stimulated conductivity of the InGaAs-GaAs heterostructures with quantum wires was studied using different quantum energies of exciting illumination. The structures reveal long-term photoconductivity decay with...
The influence of the exciton non-radiative recombination in silicon on the photoconversion efficiency. 1. The case of a long Shockley–Read–Hall lifetime
By comparison of the experimental dependence of bulk lifetime in silicon on the doping and excitation levels with theoretical calculations, it has been shown that a new recombination channel becomes operative when Shockl...
Nanograin boundaries and silicon carbide photoluminescence
The luminescence spectra of SiC crystals and films with grain boundaries (GB) on the atomic level were observed. The GB spectra are associated with luminescence centers localized in areas of specific structural abnormali...
