Urbach rule and disordering processes in Cu6P(S1−xSex)5Br1−yIy superionic conductors

Compositional behavior of Urbach absorption edge is studied as well as the effect of compositional disordering on the parameters of exciton–phonon interaction, phase transition temperatures and electric conductivity in Cu6P(S1−xSex)5Br1−yIy superionic solid solutions. The effect of different types of disordering on the optical absorption processes and specific features of compositional changes in the absorption edge spectra under S→Se and Br→I anion substitution in the mixed crystals are investigated. (x, T) phase diagrams for Cu6P(S1−xSex)5X (X=I, Br) solid solutions are studied.
