Single crystal of $CdIn_2Te_4$ were grown by the Bridgman method without using seed crystals. From photocurrent measurements, its was found that three peaks, A, B, and C, correspond to the instrinsic transition from the valence band states of ${\Gamma}_7$(A), ${\Gamma}_6$(B), and ${\Gamma}_7$(C) to the conducton band states of ${\Gamma}_6$, respectively. Crystal field splitting and spin orbit splitting were found to be at 0.2360 eV and 0.1119 eV, respectively, from found to be photocurrent spectroscopy.

A silver indium sulfide ($AgInS_{2}$) epilayer was grown by the hot wall epitaxy method, which has not been reported in the literature. The grown $AgInS_{2}$ epilayer has found to be a chalcopyrite structure and evaluated to be high quality crystal. From the photocurrent measurement in the temperature range from 30 K to 300 K, the two peaks of A and B were only observed, whereas the three peaks of A, B, and C were seen in the PC spectrum of 10 K. These peaks are ascribed to the band-to-band transition. The valence band splitting of $AgInS_{2}$ was investigated by means of the photocurrent measurement. The crystal field splitting, ${\Delta}cr$, and the spin orbit splitting, ${\Delta}so$, have been obtained to be 0.150 eV and 0.009 eV at 10 K, respectively. And, the energy band gap at room temperature has been determined to be 1.868 eV. Also, the temperature dependence of the energy band gap, $E_{g}$(T), was determined.

Single crystal $CdGa_2Se_4$ layers were grown on a thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $420^{\circ}C$ with the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating the poly crystal source of $CdGa_2Se_4$ at $630\;^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of single crystal $CdGa_2Se_4$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.27\;\times\;10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, $345\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The photocurrent and the absorption spectra of $CdGa_2Se_4$/SI(Semi-Insulated) GaAs(100) are measured ranging from 293 K to 10K. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CdGa_2Se_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T) = 2.6400 eV - ($7.721\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2$/(T + 399 K). Using the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasi cubic model, the crystal field energy(${\Delta}cr$) and the spin-orbit splitting energy(${\Delta}so$) for the valence band of the $CdGa_2Se_4$ have been estimated to be 106.5 meV and 418.9 meV at 10 K, respectively. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-, and $C_{11}$-exciton peaks.

Single crystal $ZnIn_{2}S_{4}$ layers were grown on a thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $450^{\circ}C$ with the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating the polycrystal source of $ZnIn_{2}S_{4}$ at $610^{\circ}C$ prepared from horizontal electric furnace. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of single crystal $ZnIn_{2}S_{4}$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.51{\times}10^{17}\;electron/cm^{-3}$, $291{\;}cm^{2}/v-s$ at 293 K, respectively. The photocurrent and the absorption spectra of $ZnIn_{2}S_{4}$/SI(Semi-Insulated) GaAs(100) are measured ranging from 293 K to 10 K. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $ZnIn_{2}S_{4}$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)$=2.9514 eV. ($7.24{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K$)$T^{2}$/(T+489 K). Using the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model, the crystal field energy(${\Delta}cr$) and the spin-orbit splitting energy(${\Delta}so$) for the valence band of the $ZnIn_{2}S_{4}$ have been estimated to be 167.8 meV and 14.8 meV at 10 K, respectively. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1}$-, $B_{1}$-, and $C_{41}$-exciton peaks.

The chalcopyrite $ZnIn_2S_4$ epilayers were grown on the GaAs substrate by using a hot-wall epitaxy (HWE) method. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $ZnIn_2S_4$ have been estimated to be 0.1541 eV and 0.0129 eV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the $\Gamma_5$ states of the valence band of the $ZnIn_2S_4$/GaAs epilayer. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1^-}$, $B_{1^-}$, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1. Also, we obtained the $A_{\infty^-}$ and B-exciton peaks from the PC spectrum at 293 K.

The photoconductive $CdGa_2Se_4$ layer was grown through the hot wall epitaxy method. From the photocurrent (PC) measurements, the three peaks in the PC spectra were associated with the band-to-band transitions. The PC intensities were observed to decrease with decreasing temperature. The valence-band splitting on $CdGa_2Se_4$ was also observed by means of the PC spectroscopy. The crystal field splitting and the spin orbit splitting turned out to be 0.1604 and 0.4179 eV at 10 K, respectively.
