1. 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 SSe 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 SSe 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

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
533(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
1.0106–1.2109 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 studies of the optical absorption
spectra have shown that in the temperature interval 77–
300 K, within the range of direct allowed interband
transitions, the absorption edge in ISSiGeCu 5xx17
mixed crystals has an exponential shape, which is
described by the Urbach rule [12]

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

where TUE , XUE , and CUE are contributions of
temperature-related and structural disordering to UE ,
respectively. 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. It is shown for
ISeSGeCu 5xx17 mixed crystals that GeSi cation

substitution results in a linear decrease of the relative
contribution of the static structural disordering
UstatXU EE , , a nonlinear decrease with a downward
bowing of the temperature-related disordering UTU EE ,
and a nonlinear increase with an upward bowing of the
compositional disordering UCU EE into UE at 300 K.
4. Conclusions
The linear increase of electrical conductivity with
temperature, which obeys the Arrhenius law, is observed
in ISSiGeCu 5xx17 mixed crystals. The GeSi
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 GeSi 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.

The frequency and temperature behaviour of the electrical conductivity were analyzed. The optical absorption edge of Cu₇(Ge₁₋xSix)S₅I mixed crystals within the temperature range 77–300 K was studied. The compositional dependences of the electrical conductivity, activation energy, optical pseudogap and Urbach energy were obtained. The influence of Ge→Si cation substitution on the optical absorption processes in the Cu₇(Ge₁₋xSix)S₅I mixed crystals is investigated. en Інститут фізики напівпровідників імені В.Є.
