Abstract
New metric system called electron metric system having basic metric constant is introduced. The connection between the electron metric system and the external metric system is defined. The symmetry relationships of the multinary semiconductor compound alloys are defined according to the electron metric system. The basic metric constant is found on the basis of diatomic tetrahedral cell. The electron wave vector in the new system is found and the electron energy states are determined. It is shown correlation between them in the multinary crystal. LCAO electron band structures of In__~x~__ Al~1βx~ N and of In__~x~__ Ga~1βx~ N are presented. The phenomenon tunnel optical absorption is investigated in In__~x~__ Al~1βx~ N, in In__~x~__ Ga~1βx~ N, in InN containing oxygen and in nonβstoichiometric InN. It is found the optical absorption edges begin in energies 0.2β1.62Β eV that are lower than the energy band gaps due to this phenomenon. Existence of excitons of the structure is shown in these semiconductors and it is found that the peaks of the PL spectra correspond to annihilation energies of these excitons that change in interval 0.5β1.01 eV.

## Abstract Optical properties of a chalcopyrite semiconductor AgInSe~2~ have been studied by optical absorption, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and thermoreflectance (TR) measurements. The measurements reveal distinct structures at energies of the critical points in the Brillouin zone. By perfor
## Abstract We report on the complex nature of infrared luminescence and absorption in InN films, which cannot be entirely explained by the concept of a conventional narrowβgap semiconductor. In particular, it concerns the detection of peaks near absorption edges by both thermally detected optical
