Description

Transmission, photoluminescence, and reflectance spectra of TlInS2 single crystals grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method were measured at 4.2 K near the fundamental absorption edge. Narrow lines at ∼2.5535 and ∼2.5694 eV were observed in the transmission spectrum and assigned to ground and excited free-exciton states, respectively. The free-exciton binding energy and band-gap energy Eg were found to be ∼21.2 meV and ∼2.5747 eV, respectively. A recombination mechanism was proposed for the TlInS2 near-band-edge and deep luminescence. (authors)
