| Abstract: | The phase diagrams of the CuInS2‐Sb2S3 and CuInS2‐Bi2S3 systems were investigated using X‐ray powder diffraction and differential thermal analysis. Based on these results, the compositions for the growth of the CuInS2 single crystals from CuInS2‐Sb2S3 and CuInS2‐Bi2S3 melts were selected and Bridgman crystal growth process was performed. The investigation of the obtained single crystals using X‐ray powder diffraction and optical absorption spectra indicates that the incorporation of the solvent atoms into the crystal lattice is absent.
