Multiphonon Absorption Processes in Layered Structured Tlgas<sub>2</Sub>, Tlins<sub>2</Sub> and Tlgase<sub>2</Sub> Single Crystals

Abstract

The infrared transmittance and Raman scattering spectra in TlGaS2, TlInS2 and TlGaSe2 layered single crystals grown by Bridgman method were studied in the frequency ranges of 400-1500 and 10-400 cm(-1), respectively. Three, three and five bands observed at room temperature in IR transmittance spectra of TlGaS2, TlInS2 and TlGaSe2, respectively, were interpreted in terms of multiphonon absorption processes.
