Origin of Point Defects in $AgInS_2$ Epilayer Obtained From Photoluminescence

The $AgInS_2$ epilayers with chalcopyrite structure grown by using a hot-wall epitaxy (HWE) method have been confirmed to be a high quality crystal. After the as-grown $AgInS_2$/GaAS was annealed in Ag-, S-, and In-atmosphere, the origin of point defects of the $AgInS_2$/GaAs has been investigated by using the photoluminescence (PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{Ag}$, $V_s$, $Ag_{int}$, and $S_{int}$ obtained from PL measurement were classified to donors or acceptors type
