✦ Synopsis
Electrical and photoluminescence measurements have been carried out on chemical vapor transport grown CuInS 2 single crystals in order to determine intrinsic defect levels in this material. Post-growth treatments, like annealing in vacuum, air, Cu-, In, and S-atmosphere were used to identify the observed electronic defect levels. Using these data, the formation energy of the intrinsic point defects, and the stoichiometry of the samples a band diagram for defect levels in CVTgrown CuInS 2 single crystals is proposed. Moreover similarities and differences to related ternary chalcopyrite compounds, like CuInSe 2 and CuGaSe 2 , are discussed and pointed out.

In-rich CuIn(Ga)Se 2 thin films are characterized by optical and electrical measurements. The results are consistently explained in the Shklovskij/Efros model appropriate for highly defective and highly compensated semiconductors. The dominant radiative recombination is of tail-impurity type at low
The simulations of NMR spectra of 93 Nb nuclei for different models of intrinsic defects in single crystal of congruent lithium niobate have been performed. It has been shown that the most probable defects in LiNbO 3 are complex (Nb Li + 3 V Li ) and isolated V Li .
