Popis: Crystals of antimony-doped In2Se3 were grown by the Bridgeman method. This compound, whose composition is In1.8Sb0.2Se3, appears to be isostructural with In1.9As0.1Se3. The refined unit cell parameters are a = 3.97(1), c = 18.87(1) A. Orthorhombic crystals of InSbSe3 were grown from an isothermal melt. The refined unit cell parameters are a = 9.43(1), b = 14.02(5), and c = 3.96(1) A. These parameters agree with those determined for α-InSbSe3 by other studies. The observed densities measured by a hydrostatic technique are 5.98(3) g/cm3 for In1.8Sb0.2Se3 and 6.07(2) g/cm3 for InSbSe3. The room temperature dc resistivity for In1.8Sb0.2Se3 has been found to be 4.4 × 104 Ω-cm, whereas that of InSbSe3 has been found to be 15.2(1) Ω-cm. A resistivity versus temperature study has beenn carried out for InSbSe3 between 230 and 400°K. Optical studies indicate that In1.8Sb0.2Se3 is an n-type semiconductor with a band gap of 1.1 eV and InSbSe3 is a p-type semiconductor with a band gap of 0.92 eV.
