Presented in this paper are the results obtained from the investigation of absorption edge and photoconductivity of layered Ga 2 In 4 S 9 single crystals as well as from the investigation of the photovoltaic effect in Pt—Ga 2 In 4 S 9 surface‐barrier structures. We determined the magnitude of the direct band gap to be E g = 2.72 eV and the position of the sensitizing centres to be ≈0.15 eV above the valence band top. In the regions of the photon energies smaller than E g the absorption band edge is described by an exponential dependence with a temperature independent slope.
