[$AgGaSe_2$] 단결정 박막을 수평 전기로에서 합성한 $AgGaSe_2$ 다결정을 증발원으로하여, hot wall epitaxy(HWE) 방법으로 증발원과 기판(반절연성-GaAs(100))의 온도를 각각 $630^{\circ}C,\;420^{\circ}C$로 고정하여 성장하였다. 이때 단결정 박막의 결정성은 광발광 스펙트럼과 이중결정 X-선 요동곡선(DCRC)으로 부터 구하였다. $AgGaSe_2$의 광흡수 스펙트럼으로부터 구한 온도에 의존하는 에너지 밴드갭 $E_g(T)$는 Varshni 공식에 fitting한 결과 $E_g(T)=1.9501eV-(8.79x10^{-4}eV/K)T^2(T+250K)$를 잘 만족하였다. 성장된 $AgGaSe_2$ 단결정 박막을 Ag, Ga, Se 분위기에서 각각 열처리하여 10K에서 photoluminescience(PL) spectrum을 측정하여 점 결함의 기원을 알아보았다. PL 측정으로 부터 얻어진 $V_{Ag},\;V_{Se},\;Ag_{int}$, 그리고 $Se_{int}$는 주개와 받개로 분류되어졌다. $AgGaSe_2$ 단결정 박막을 Ag 분위기에서 열처리하면 p형으로 변환됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, Ga 분위기에서 열처리하면 열처리 이전의 PL 스펙트럼을 보이고 있어서, $AgGaSe_2$ 단결정 박막에서 Ga은 안정된 결합의 형태로 있기 때문에 자연 결함의 형성에는 관련이 없음을 알았다.

The results of investigations of Ag2Se single crystal are presented. $Ag_2Se$ crystal was grown by the Bridgman method. The $Ag_2Se$ single crystal was an orthorhombic structure with lattice constance $a=4.333{\AA}$, $b=7.062{\AA}$, $c=7.764{\AA}$. Hall effect shows a n-type conductivity in the $Ag_2Se$ single crystal. The electrical resistivity was $1.25{\times}10^3ohm^{-1}^cm{-1}$ and electron mobility was $-5.48{\times}10^3cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$ at room temperature(RT).

To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C\;and\;420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T) = 1.9501 eV - ($8.79{\times}10^{-4}$ eV/K)$T^2$/(T + 250 K). After the as-grown $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, Se-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{Ag},\;V_{Se},\;Ag_{int},\;and\;Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Ag-atmosphere converted $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in $AgGaSe_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because Ga in $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

The stochiometric $AgGaSe_2$ polycrystalline mixture of evaporating materials for the $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal and semi-insulating GaAs(100) wafer were used as source material and substrate for the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system, respectively. The source and substrate temperature were fixed at $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The thickness of grown single crystal thin films is $2.1{\mu}m$. The single crystal thin films were investigated by photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD) measurement. The carrier density and mobility of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.89{\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3},\;129cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293K, respectively. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c - axis of the $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting ${\Delta}S_o$ and the crystal field splitting ${\Delta}C_r$ were 0.1762 eV and 0.2494 eV at 10 K, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film, we observed free excition $(E_X)$ observable only in high quality crystal and neutral bound exciton $(D^o,X)$ having very strong peak intensity And, the full width at half maximum and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 8 meV and 14.1 meV, respectively. By Haynes rule, an activation energy of impurity was 141 meV.

The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of single crystal $AgGaSe_2$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.05{\times}\;10^{16}/cm^3$, $139\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K. respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.9501\;eV\;-\;(8.79{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2$/(T + 250 K). The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $AgGaSe_2$ have been estimated to be 0.3132 eV and 0.3725 eV at 10 K, respectively, by means of the phcitocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}So$ definitely exists in the $\Gamma_5$ states of the valence band of the $AgGaSe_2$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1.
