   Influence of partial substitution of Ga ions in TlGaS2 lattice by Fe ions on photoelectric properties have been investigated. Indicated substitution in quantity of 1÷2 % Fe brings about the full frequency change of photocurrent spectra. Obtained experimental results show that at the expense of partial substitution Ga® Fe in TlGaS2 lattice one can control photocurrent maximum energy of TlGa0,99Fe0,01S2 single crystals from 1.98 to 1.70 eV by temperature variation from 300 to 370 K.
