Abstract

Low-temperature (1.8 K) excitonic absorption, reflection and photoluminescence spectra of mixed Zn(P1xAsx)2Zn(P_{1 - x}As_{x})_{2} crystals were studied at x=x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.05. Energy gap and rydbergs of excitonic B, C and A-series decrease monotonically at the increase of xx. Spectral half-widths of absorption n=1n = 1 lines of B and A-series increase monotonically at the increase of xx due to fluctuations of crystal potential. Emission lines of excitonic molecules were observed in photoluminescence spectra of Zn(P1xAsx)2Zn(P_{1 - x}As_{x})_{2} crystals. Binding energy of molecule increases at the increase of xx that is due to the decrease of the electron-hole mass ratio.
