AbstractMnAgIn_7S_12 single crystals 16 mm in diameter and ~40 mm in length are grown by planar crystallization of the melt. It is shown that the material grown crystallizes with the formation of the cubic spinel structure. From the transmittance spectra recorded in the region of fundamental absorption in the temperature range 10–320 K, the band gap E _ g of the single crystals and its temperature dependence are determined. The dependence has a shape typical of most semiconductor materials: as the temperature is lowered, the band gap E _ g increases. A calculation is carried out, and it is shown that the calculated values are in agreement with the experimental data.

High temperature stability of band-gap energy of active layer material of a semiconductor device is one of the major challenges in the field of semiconductor optoelectronic device design. It is essential to ensure the stability in different band-gap energy dependent characteristics of the semiconductor material used to fabricate these devices either directly or indirectly. Different models have been widely used to analyze the band-gap energy dependent characteristics at different temperatures. The most commonly used methods to analyze the temperature dependence of band-gap energy of semiconductor materials are: Passler model, Bose–Einstein model and Varshni’s model. This paper is going to report the limitation of the Bose–Einstein model through a comparative analysis between Bose–Einstein model and Varshni’s model. The numerical analysis is carried out considering GaN as it is one of the most widely used semiconductor materials all over the world. From the numerical results it is ascertained that below the temperature of 95o K both the models show almost same characteristics. However beyond 95o K Varshni’s model shows weaker temperature dependence than that of Bose–Einstein model. Varshni’s model shows that the band-gap energy of GaN at 300o K is found to be 3.43eV, which establishes a good agreement with the theoretically calculated band-gap energy of GaN for operating at room temperature.

The capabilities of computer through the methodologies of scientific computing used to solve many manufacturing difficulties of semiconductor materials, across all disciplines, because it is low cost and the availability of resources. In this paper, investigation of unique electronic property of zinc oxide sheet, which can be an attractive semiconductor material for many electronic devices applications, is carried out. The electronic structure of zinc oxide surface and the effect of substituting lithium atoms using CRYSTAL06 code showed that the bulk ZnO band gap ≈ 3.3eV which is in good agreement with experimental results≈3.4eV. After generating slab structure, the band gap has been increased to 5.5eV, exhibiting high resistivity surface. Substituting of lithium to slab has decreased band gap to 4.4eV. The results shows that there is reduction in band-gap and decreases in resistivity, predicting that Small amount of Lithium could change the zinc oxide from wide band semiconductor to half-metal compound.

The effect of annealing of organometallic perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 film on its electrical, photoelectric, and optical properties is studied. It was shown that annealing at Та>140 °C leads to the two-phase structure formation consisting of perovskite and lead iodide, the relative content of which depends on the annealing conditions, in particular, on its temperature. The PbI2 formation in the perovskite structure leads to a decrease in the conductivity and photoconductivity of the material. Our studies indicate the possibility of forming planar structures consisting of semiconductor materials with various values of the band gap: 1.6 eV (CH3NH3PbI3) and 2.4 eV (PbI2).
