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.

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...
Calculation of spin-Hamiltonian constants for extended defects (VSi-VC)0 (Ky5) in silicon carbide polytype 3C-SiC
This work presents theoretical studying the neutral divacancy, i.e., the Ky5 center that is one of the dominant defects in 3C-SiC bulk crystals subjected to relatively high dose of neutron irradiation. Being the paramagn...
Peculiarities of photoluminescence spectra behavior in SiC crystals and films during phase transformations
Peculiarities of photoluminescence spectra behavior in SiC crystals and thin films with in-grown defects during phase transformations have been studied. On the deep-level(DL)-spectra, as an example, their characteristics...
Trap-assisted conductivity in anodic oxide on InSb
The direct current conductivity of anodic oxide of InSb has been investigated as a function of applied bias and temperature. Proposed in this work is a model of conductivity that includes ohmic, trap-assisted tunneling a...
