Abstract

Simple models are proposed for the calculation of refractive index n and electronic polarizability α of AIBIIIC2VI and AIIBIVC2V groups of chalcopyrite semiconductors from their energy gap data. The values of n and α for 2 compounds of AIBIIIC2VI family and 12 compounds of AIIBIVC2V family are calculated for the first time in this work. The proposed models are applicable for the whole range of energy gap materials. The calculated values are compared with the available experimental and reported values. A fairly good agreement between them is obtained.
