“…Especially, In-rich alloy including CuInS 2 is expected as a material for efficient solar cells. Many growth techniques have been reported to grow bulk CuInS 2 and CuGa 1Àx In x S 2 thus far; the traveling heater method [1][2][3], the sintering method [4], the gradient freeze technique [5], the sulfurization horizontal Bridgman method [6], and the hot-press method [7]. However, it is difficult to control the stoichiometry and to grow bulk crystals with high crystalline quality.…”

“…CuMS 2 sulfides are tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors and possess the uniaxial chalcopyrite structure. , Among them, CuInS 2 is a good candidate for photovoltaic applications because its band gap (about 1.53 eV at room temperature) matches well the solar spectrum, and CuGaS 2 is a promising material for the production of light-emitting devices in the green light region because of its wide and direct energy gap (about 2.49 eV at room temperature) …”

“…The ternary I-III-VI compounds have received much attention because, unlike their binary II-VI analogues, they can be made both, n-and p-type [1,2]. The largest band gap I-III-VI compound having this property is CuInS 2 (E g C1.5 eV at room temperature), which is in the optimum range for terrestrial photovoltaic conversion [3].…”
