Abstract

Optical absorption measurements as a function of high temperature (300 to 750)K on semiconductor direct energy gap CuInVI2 (S, Se and Te) were performed in the visible light spectrum. These results are used to determine the value of the fundamental direct energy gap Eg as a function of temperature T, through classical theoretical models. The dEg/dT parameter obtained in the range of high temperature in the ternary semiconductor compounds CuInS2, CuInSe2  and CuInTe2  are -3.3x10-4eVK-1,-2.1x10-4eVK-1 and -5.3x10-4eVK-1  respectively, these results will be compared with those reported to date in lower ranges of temperatures (T <300K).
