Manuscript received 20.10.16; revised version received 26.01.17; accepted for publication 01.03.17; published online 05.04.17. 1. Introduction Cu6PSe5I crystals belong to an argyrodite family of tetrahedrally close-packed structures [1]. These materials are known as superionic conductors or solid electrolytes. They have attracted great interest not only in the view of the possibility to apply them in a high-energy-density batteries and sensors, but also due to their remarkable properties. Cu6PSe5I crystals, by analogy with Cu6PS5I, have the cubic syngony (space group mF 34 ) at room temperature [1]. The stepwise change of the total electrical conductivity in Cu6PSe5I crystals, a sudden increase in ionic conductivity as well as a decrease of the activation energy have shown the existence of the superionic first-order phase transition (PT), which occurs within the temperature range Ts = 260…268 K [2]. This PT is related with the structural topological disorder of copper-cation sublattice, resulting in copper- ion migration and drastic growth of the ionic component in the electric conductivity. Temperature behaviour of the dielectric permeability and absorption edge of Cu6PSe5I crystal in the vicinity of the superionic PT has been presented in Ref. [3]. Temperature behaviour of optical properties of Cu6PSe5I crystals were studied in Refs. [4-6]. The long- wave side of absorption edge in Cu6PSe5I crystal in the non-superionic (T < Ts) and superionic (T > Ts) phases exhibits exponential dependence on photon energy. The Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2017. V. 20, N 1. P. 64-68. doi: https://doi.org/10.15407/spqeo20.01.064 © 2017, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 65 temperature studies have shown that the exponential parts obey the Urbach rule in both phases, though the convergence point coordinates of the Urbach edge are different for the two phases. In the temperature range of superionic PT, a stepwise behaviour of the optical parameters are observed. The temperature dependence of the optical pseudogap and Urbach energy were described in the framework of the Einstein single oscillator model. Thus, the physical properties of Cu6PSe5I single crystals are well known, while the investigation of physical properties of thin films on their basis only begins. It should be noted that Cu6PS5I thin films for the first time were obtained and studied in Ref. [7]. The influence of annealing on the optical absorption edge parameters of Cu6PS5I thin films was investigated in Ref. [8]. Electrical and optical studies of Cu6PS5I-based thin films with a different copper atoms content were performed in Ref. [9]. Here, we report on the deposition, structural investigation, and spectrometric studies of the transmission spectra in Cu6PSe5I-based thin film. Besides, we would like to analyze the temperature behaviour of the Urbach absorption edge, to study disordering processes in Cu6PSe5I-based thin film as well as to compare the optical parameters of Cu6PSe5I single crystal and thin films under investigation. 2. Experimental Thin films were deposited from synthesized poly- crystalline Cu6PSe5I onto silicate glass substrate by non- reactive radio-frequency magnetron sputtering; the film growth rate was close to 3 nm/min. Deposition was carried out at room temperature in Ar atmosphere. The structure of the deposited film was analyzed using X-ray diffraction; the diffraction pattern obtained using DRON-3 diffractometer (conventional θ–2θ scanning technique, Bragg angle 2θ ≅ 10–60°, Cu Kα, Ni filtered radiation) shows the films to be amorphous. Structural studies were performed for the thin film (Fig. 1) by using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique (Hitachi S-4300); the thin film chemical composition (Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3) was determined using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) studies, which enabled us to check the chemical composition in different points of the film surface. The deposited thin films were observed to be depleted by copper and enriched with phosphorous and iodine. Optical transmission spectra of Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin films were studied in the interval of temperatures 77…300 K by an MDR-3 grating monochromator, a UTREX cryostat was used for low-temperature studies. From the temperature studies of interferential transmission spectra, the spectral dependences of the absorption coefficient as well as dispersion dependences of the refractive index were derived [10]. Fig. 1. SEM image of Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film. 3. Results and discussion The interferential transmission spectra of Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin films at various temperatures are shown in Fig. 2. With temperature, a red shift of both the short-wave part of the absorption spectrum (related to the temperature behaviour of the absorption edge) and the interferential maxima are observed. Besides, Fig. 2 presents the temperature isoabsorption dependence of the characteristic energy α gE from the short-wave part of the absorption spectrum, corresponding to the fixed ab- sorption coefficient value α = 4200 cm–1. No anomalies in the isoabsorption dependence within the temperature interval 77…300 K were revealed, which is the evidence of the absence of PTs in this temperature range. Fig. 2. Spectral dependences of transmission coefficient for Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film at various temperatures: (1) 77, (2) 150, (3) 200, (4) 250, (5) 300 K.

Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 66 It is seen (Fig. 3) that the optical absorption edge spectra within the range of their exponential behaviour in amorphous Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin films, similarly to those in the Cu6PSe5I single crystal, are described by the Urbach rule [11] ( ) ( ) ( ) ⎥⎦ ⎤ ⎢ ⎣ ⎡ −ν α=⎥⎦ ⎤ ⎢⎣ ⎡ −νσ α=να TE Eh kT EhTh U 0 0 0 0 expexp, , (1) where EU is the Urbach energy, σ is the absorption edge steepness parameter, α0 and E0 are the convergence point coordinates of the Urbach bundle. The coordinates of the Urbach bundle convergence point α0 and E0 for the Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin films are given in Table. The latter also presents the α0 and E0 values for Cu6PSe5I single crystal. The temperature behaviour of the Urbach absorption edge in Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film is explained by electron- phonon interaction (EPI) that is strong in the thin films under investigation. The EPI parameters were obtained from the temperature dependence of absorption edge steepness parameter (Fig. 3) using the Mahr formula [12] ⎟⎟ ⎠ ⎞ ⎜⎜ ⎝ ⎛ ω ⋅⎟ ⎟ ⎠ ⎞ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ ⎛ ω ⋅σ=σ kT kTT p p 2 tanh2)( 0 h h , (2) where pωh is the effective phonon energy in a single oscillator model, describing the EPI, and σ0 – parameter related to the EPI constant g as 1 0 )3/2( −=σ g (parameters pωh and σ0 are given in Table). For the Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film σ0 < 1, which is the evidence for the strong EPI [13]. It should be noted that in the thin film, as compared to the single crystal, the EPI is substantially enhanced (it corresponds to a decrease of the σ0 parameter) and the energy pωh of the effective phonon, taking part in absorption edge formation, increases (Table).

The temperature dependences of α gE and the Urbach energy EU for Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film are summarized in Fig. 4.

The obtained )0(α gE , α gS , θE, ( )0UE , and ( )1UE parameters for the thin film are given in Table, and the temperature dependences of α gE and the Urbach energy EU for the Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film calculated from Eqs.

Refractive index dispersions for Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film at various temperatures: (1) 77, (2) 150, (3) 200, (4) 250 and (5) 300 K. The inset shows the temperature dependence of refractive index. It should be noted that in Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film the Urbach behaviour of the absorption edge is observed in the whole temperature interval under investigation, while in the single crystal it is observed in non- superionic and superionic phases separately. An essential characteristic of the absorption edge spectra inherent to the thin films under investigation is a lengthy Urbach tail, which results in the Urbach energy EU increase by the factor over than 6 in comparison with that of the single crystal. In Ref. [16], it was shown that both temperature and structural disordering affect the Urbach absorption edge shape, i.e., the Urbach energy EU is described by the equation ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) dynXstatXTXT EEEEEE ,U,UUUUU ++=+= , (5) where ( )TEU and ( )XEU are the contributions of temperature and structural disordering to EU, respectively; ( ) statXUE , and dynXUE ,)( – contributions of static structural disordering and dynamic structural disordering to ( )XEU , respectively. It should be noted that the first term in the right-hand side of Eq. (4) represents static structural disordering, and the second one represents temperature-related types of disordering: temperature disordering due to thermal lattice vibrations and dynamic structural disordering due to the presence of mobile ions in the superionic conductor. The static structural disordering ( ) statXE ,U in Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film as well as in Cu6PSe5I single crystal is caused by structural imperfectness due to the high concentration of disordered copper vacancies. Moreover, the static structural disordering in Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film, unlike to that in Cu6PSe5I single crystal, increases due to: (1) the absence of long- range order in the atomic arrangement and chemical bond breakdown; (2) lower density of the atomic structure packing due to the presence of pores; (3) the transition from the three-dimensional bulk structure to the two-dimensional planar structure. Thus, the absolute value of contribution of static structural disordering into the thin film Urbach energy increases by the factor over than 7 in comparison with that in the single crystal, while its relative value grows from 82% in the single crystal to 89% in the thin film. The dynamic structural disordering ( ) dynXE ,U is related to the intense motion of mobile copper ions, participating in ion transport, and is responsible for the ionic conductivity. Preliminary electrical studies have shown that the total electric conductivity of the thin film at T = 295 K is σt = 3.9×10–3 S/cm at the frequency close to 1 MHz, while the total electric conductivity for the single crystal is σt = 5.6×10–2 S/cm at 1 kHz [2]. The dispersion dependences of the refractive index for the Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film were obtained from the interferential transmission spectra (Fig. 5). The slight dispersion of the refractive index is observed in the transparency region, but it increases when approaching to the optical absorption edge region. With temperature increase, the nonlinear growth of the refractive index in Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film has been revealed. 4. Conclusions Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin films were deposited onto silicate glass substrate by non-reactive radio frequency magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction pattern shows the films to be amorphous. Structural studies were performed using SEM technique, which gives the evidence for the formation of a homogeneous two- dimensional structure.

Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 68 exponential behaviour have been studied. A typical Urbach bundle has been observed, temperature dependences of the optical parameters of the Urbach absorption edge have been analyzed. In two-dimensional Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin films, the Urbach absorption edge is formed by strong EPI. The influence of temperature and structural disordering on the Urbach tail is studied and a comparative analysis of the Urbach absorption edge parameters for Cu6PSe5I single crystal and Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film has been performed. It should be noted that the transfer from Cu6PSe5I single crystal to Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film causes the substantial increase of the Urbach energy EU, enhances EPI (decrease of σ0 parameter) and increases the effective phonon energy pωh as well as the relative contribution of static structural disordering into EU from 82% to 89%. The dispersion dependences of the refractive index for the Cu5.5P1.2Se5.0I1.3 thin film have been obtained from the interferential transmission spectra; the nonlinear increase of refractive index with temperature increase has been revealed.
