ABSTRACT

CuInS2 crystals were grown by the Bridgman method and characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering methods. Photoluminescence of CuInS2 was studied by confocal laser microscopy. A nonlinear dependence of the luminescence intensity on the intensity of the exciting light was established.

Keywords: CuInS2, exciton, photoluminescence, Raman scattering, confocal laser microscopy
