Introduction Cu7GeS5I and Cu7SiS5I superionic crystals belong to argyrodite family compounds [1]. Due to their high ionic conductivity, these crystals are attractive materials for applications in different functional elements of solid state ionics [2]. Structural, electrical and optical properties of Cu7GeS(Se)5I and mixed crystals based on them were studied in papers [3–7]. It is shown that the electrical conductivity of Cu7GeSe5I crystal at room temperature was found to be rather high (64 S/m at 295 K and 106 Hz) and typical for advanced superionic conductors [5, 6]. At SSe anionic substitution, the nonlinear increase of the electric conductivity by more than an order of magnitude was observed in   ISeSGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals [7]. Optical studies have shown that the absorption edge of Cu7GeS(Se)S5I crystals and mixed crystals based on them exhibits Urbach behaviour in a wide temperature range [3,5–7]. A nonlinear decrease of the optical pseudogap in the   ISeSGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals at SSe anionic substitution is observed [7]. Some of the chemical and physics properties of   ISeSGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals were presented in the paper [8]. Chemical interaction in the Cu7GeS5I– Cu7SiS5I system was studied by X-ray phase analysis, microstructural analysis and density determination. The short-wave edge of the diffuse reflection spectra of   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals is shown to shift towards shorter wavelengths after the substitution of Ge atoms by Si [8]. This paper is aimed at investigation of temperature and compositional behaviour of the electrical conductivity and optical absorption edge in   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals. Moreover, the influence of different types of the crystal lattice disordering on absorption edge formation will be in focus of the paper. 2. Experimental Cu7(Ge1–xSix)S5I mixed crystals were grown by chemical vapour transport [8]. For synthesis, the calculated stoichiometric amounts of Cu, Si, Ge, S and CuI were loaded in silica glass ampoules, thoroughly mixed, pumped out to 0.13 Pa and sealed. Additional amount of Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2012. V. 15, N 3. P. 227-231. © 2012, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 228 CuI used as a transport agent (20 mg/cm3 of the ampoule free volume) was also loaded in the ampoules. Thus, the crystal growth was carried out in atmosphere of CuI chemical active vapour. The as-grown crystals had the shape of plane-parallel platelets or distorted tetrahedra 533(2.5) mm in size. For X-ray studies, the DRON-3 diffractometer was used (conventional  2 scanning technique, Bragg angle 2 10–60, Cu Kα, Ni filtered radiation). It is shown that in the Cu7GeS5I–Cu7SiSeI system a row of continuous solid solutions is formed with mF 34 cubic symmetry at room temperature (Fig. 1). The measurements of complex electrical conductivity were carried out within the frequency range 1.0106–1.2109 Hz and the temperature interval 100– 300 K by using a coaxial impedance spectrometer set- up [9]. Spectrometric studies of the optical absorption edge were carried out within the temperature range 77–300 K by using the LOMO KSVU-23 grating monochromator [10]. For these measurements, the samples were oriented at room temperature while being in the cubic phase. For low temperature studies cryostat of UTREX type was used. The relative error in determination of the relative change in the absorption coefficient / did not exceed 10% at 0.3  d  3 [11]. 3. Results and discussion It should be noted that measurements of the real bulk conductivity are limited to low frequencies (up to MHz range) due to contact effects. The frequency dependences of the real part of complex electrical conductivity  are illustrated for Cu7(Ge0.4Si0.6)S5I mixed crystal and at various temperatures are presented in Fig. 2. Influence of the contact effect is observed at low temperatures within the low-frequency range. With temperature increase, only relaxation dispersion of the electrical conductivity due to bulk conductivity takes place (Fig. 2). Besides, it is shown (Fig. 2) that with the temperature increase the  value for Cu7(Ge0.4Si0.6)S5I mixed crystal increases linearly in a semilogarithmic scale and obeys the Arrhenius law:           kT E T aexp0 , (1) where aE is the activation energy, 0 is some constant, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature. Substitution of Ge atoms with Si atoms leads to decreasing the electrical conductivity  (Fig. 3). It should be noted that in comparison with Cu7GeS5I, in Cu7SiSe5I crystals the  value decreases by more than an order of magnitude. With the increase of Si content, the  value of   ISeSGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals decreases nonlinearly with downward bowing, besides reaches a minimum at x = 0.4. The activation energy aE in the mixed crystals under investigation increases within the composition interval 0 < x  0.4 achieves its maximum at x = 0.4 and decreases within the composition interval 0.4 < x < 1 (Fig. 3).

Temperature behaviour of the Urbach absorption edge for Cu7(Ge0.4Si0.6)S5I crystal, which is typical for the mixed crystals under investigation, is shown in Fig. 4. The constants 0 and E0 for   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals are given in Table.

The obtained using Eq. (3) values of the effective phonon energy p and the EPI parameter 0 for   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals are listed in Table. For pure Cu7Ge(Si)S5I crystals as well as for Cu7(Ge1–xSix)S5I mixed crystals, the value 0<1 that indicates a strong EPI. It should be noted that EPI in mixed crystals is enhanced (Table).

It is shown that * gE value decreases nonlinearly with temperature, and UE value increases nonlinearly without any singularities (Fig. 5). Besides, the temperature dependences of * gE and UE for   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals are well described in the framework of the Einstein model by the relationships [14, 15]         1)/exp( 1 )0()( E E *** T kSETE ggg , (4)           1)/exp( 1 )( E 1U0UU T EEE , (5) where * gS is a dimensionless constant of interaction, E is the Einstein temperature, corresponding to the average frequency of phonon excitations of a system of non- interacting oscillators,  0UE and  1UE are constant values.

The compositional studies show that the increase of content for Si atoms in the   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals leads to a nonlinear increase with downward bowing of the optical pseudogap * gE (Fig. 6). At GeSi cationic substitution, the Urbach energy UE in the Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2012. V. 15, N 3. P. 227-231. © 2012, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 230 composition interval 0  x  0.2 drastically increases (by a factor higher than 5) and at х = 0.6 it reaches the maximum value, then in the composition interval 0.8  х  1 decreases with x by a factor higher than 3. The significant increase of the Urbach energy UE in   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals is caused by the substantial compositional disordering of their crystal lattice. It should be noted that the Urbach energy UE characterizes the degree of the edge smearing due to the different types of disordering of the crystal lattice. In   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals, besides the temperature-related (due to the lattice thermal vibrations) and structural (static and dynamical) disordering characteristic for pure Cu7Ge(Si)S5I crystals, compositional disordering should also be revealed. In [16], it was shown that the temperature-related, structural, and compositional disordering affect the Urbach absorption edge shape, i.e. the Urbach energy UE is described by the following equation Fig. 4. Spectral dependences of the Urbach absorption edge for Cu7(Ge0.4Si0.6)S5I mixed crystal at various temperatures Т (K): 1 – 77, 2 – 200, 3 – 250, 4 – 300. The insert shows the temperature dependence of  steepness parameter. Fig. 5.

The first term in the right-hand side of Eq. (5) represents the static structural disordering for pure crystals or sum of static structural disordering and compositional disordering for mixed crystals, and the second one – the temperature-related types of disordering: temperature disordering due to thermal lattice vibrations and dynamic structural disordering due to presence of mobile ions in superionic conductors. The calculations have shown that the contribution of static structural disordering into the Urbach energy UE at T = 300 K for Cu7GeS5I crystals is 51%, while for Cu7SiSe5I it is 69%. Within the framework of the procedure, described in [17], the relative contributions of different type disordering into the Urbach energy were estimated and adduced in Fig. 7.

Conclusions The linear increase of electrical conductivity with temperature, which obeys the Arrhenius law, is observed in   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals. The GeSi cationic substitution results in a nonlinear decrease of the electrical conductivity by more than an order of magnitude. It is noted that   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals are characterized by rather high electric conductivity and low activation energy what puts them in line with the most efficient solid electrolytes. It is shown that the Urbach absorption edge is observed in   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals within the temperature interval 77–300 K. Urbach behaviour of the absorption edge is related to the electron-phonon interaction that is strong for   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals. It should be noted that the temperature dependences of optical pseudogap and Urbach energy for   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals are well described in the framework of the Einstein model. A nonlinear increase of the optical pseudogap in   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals at GeSi cationic substitution is revealed while the compositional dependence of the Urbach energy exhibits typical behaviour for mixed crystals. The Urbach energy in   ISSiGeCu 5xx17  mixed crystals is shown to be determined by the effect of the temperature-related, structural and compositional disordering. References 1. W.F. Kuhs, R.
