Properties of Sonochemically Prepared $CuIn_{x}Ga_{1-x}S_{2}$ and $CuIn_{x}Ga_{1-x}Se_{2}$

Nanoparticles of chalcopyrites copper indium gallium sulfide ($CuIn_{x}Ga_{1-x}S_{2}$ or CIGS) and copper indium gallium selenide ($CuIn_{x}Ga_{1-x}Se_{2}$ or CIGSe) were fabricated sonochemically. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The electrical and photoelectrical properties of the fabricated nanomaterials were investigated.
