- Abstract
Crystalline germanium sulphoselenide having a wide band gap has attracted many researchers due to its important properties in solar energy converters. In this paper authors present their investigation on growth of off-stochiometric single crystals of germanium sulphoselenide GeS0.5Se0.5 by direct vapour transport technique (DVT) using two zone horizontal furnace. Stoichiometry of the grown crystals is confirmed by Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX). The structural characterization was accomplished by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies and it was found to be orthorhombic structure. Lattice parameters, Unit cell volume and X-ray density have been calculated. A study of microstructures on the grown crystals of GeS0.5Se 0.5 has been made.
