Electronic energy band parameters ofCuInSe2: Landau levels in magnetotransmission spectra

Magnetotransmission (MT) at magnetic fields up to 29 T was used to study the electronic structure of $\mathrm{CuInS}{\mathrm{e}}₂$ in thin polycrystalline films. The zero field absorption spectra exhibited resolved A, B, and C free excitons. Quantum oscillations, due to diamagnetic excitons comprising electrons and holes from Landau levels quantized in the conduction and valence band, respectively, appeared in the MT spectra at fields over 5 T. Spectral energies of Landau levels and binding energies of the corresponding diamagnetic excitons, theoretically calculated assuming a quasicubic approximation of the $\mathrm{CuInS}{\mathrm{e}}₂$ tetragonal lattice structure, helped to identify the character of the experimentally observed diamagnetic excitons. Spectral energies of diamagnetic excitons in the MT spectra with different circular polarizations were used to determine the electron and light hole effective masses, whereas heavy hole masses as well as the \ensuremath{\gamma} and ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}₁$ Luttinger parameters, ${E}_p$ Kane energy, and F parameter of the influence of remote bands, as well as their polaron values, were calculated using the Luttinger theory.
