Photo‐ and cathodoluminescence of n‐ and p‐type Cd0.3Hg0.7Te alloys are investigated in the temperature range 17 to 77 K. The luminescence spectra are found to be independent of the method of excitation and to consists of two bands. The energy separation of the bands is in a good agreement with that from the literature and does not depend on the type of alloy conductivity. Narrowing of the cathodoluminescence bands which is typical for stimulated generation is achieved under a high level of electron beam excitation both in the intrinsic and the impurity spectrum bands. The recombination centres involved are assumed to be the native lattice defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
