Ga1.5Cu0.5S2.5 is a mixed-metal sulfide semiconductor compound combining gallium and copper in a non-stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material within the family of I-III-VI semiconductors; compounds in this class are investigated for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications due to their tunable band gaps and potential for absorber layers in thin-film solar cells. The specific composition represents an exploratory attempt to engineer defect states and carrier transport properties by deliberate copper doping of gallium sulfide.
