摘要: In this paper the dependence of structural properties of the quaternary CuIn1-xGaxSe2 films with tetragonal structure on the Ga content has been systematically investigated by Raman scattering and x-ray diffraction spectra. The shift of the dominant Ax mode, unlike the lattice constants, does not follow the linear Vegard law with increasing Ga content x, whereas exhibits approximately polynomial change from 174\,cm-1 for CuInSe2 to 185cm-1 for CuGaSe2. Such behaviour should be indicative of presence of the asymmetric distribution of Ga and In on a microscopic scale in the films, due to Ga addition. The changes in the tetragonal distortion \eta lead to a significant variation in the anion displacement parameter U, which should be responsible for the evolution of bond parameters and resultant Raman bands with x.

Abstract: In this paper the dependence of structural properties of the quaternary CuIn1-xGaxSe2 films with tetragonal structure on the Ga content has been systematically investigated by Raman scattering and x-ray diffraction spectra. The shift of the dominant A1 mode, unlike the lattice constants, does not follow the linear Vegard law with increasing Ga content x, whereas exhibits approximately polynomial change from 174 cm-1 for CuInSe2 to 185cm-1 for CuGaSe2. Such behaviour should be indicative of presence of the asymmetric distribution of Ga and In on a microscopic scale in the films, due to Ga addition. The changes in the tetragonal distortion $\eta$ lead to a significant variation in the anion displacement parameter $U$, which should be responsible for the evolution of bond parameters and resultant Raman bands with $x$.
