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.
