Growth and morphology of the CuGaS₂, CuAlSe₂, CuGaSe₂ and CuInS₂ ternary compounds

Abstract

Abstract Monocrystals of the ternary compounds CuGaS 2 , CuAlSe 2 , CuGaSe 2 , and CuInS 2 were grown from their elements by transport reactions; their cell parameters and melting temperature were determined. The character of the phase transition in these compounds was found out and also the boundary conditions of growing the monocrystals as well as their dislocation structure (by etching).
