Abstract Photovoltaicp-n junctions inn-type Pb1−xMn x Sx≦0.04, have been made by sulphur diffusion. Current-voltage and resistance-voltage characteristics have been examined at various temperatures. The spectral responses of the diodes have been measured within the temperature range from 5 to 300 K at a zero bias. From these measurements the energy band gap of Pb1−x Mn x S solid solution has been determined as a function of temperature and manganese content. A phenomenological expression describing the variation of the energy gap of Pb1−x Mn x S with temperature and alloy composition has been proposed.
