Single crystals of the n-CuIn{sub 5}Se{sub 8} compound of hexagonal modification have been grown by direct crystallization from melt. On the basis of the experimental study of its thermal interaction with air oxygen, a method for fabricating new oxide/n-CuIn{sub 5}Se{sub 8} heterojunctions is proposed. Electrical and photoelectric properties of the structures obtained have been investigated. It is shown that the interaction of n-CuIn{sub 5}Se{sub 8} of hexagonal modification with air oxygen makes it possible to obtain heterojunctions with high photosensitivity. The new technology can be used in the design of broadband optical radiation converters based on n-CuIn{sub 5}Se{sub 8} crystals.
