Abstract:Thin ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl films exhibiting dc electroluminescence of Mn+2 are prepared by a three step method involving: (i) evaporation of pure ZnS layer, (ii) dipping in CuCl solution, and (iii) evaporation of ZnS:Mn, Cl top layer. In order to obtain some information about the effects accompanying the electroluminescence, measurements of the conductance as a function of temperature, dc field and ac field frequency as well as capacitance‐voltage characteristic were carried out. The results indicate that hopping is … Show more
“…The conductivity of thin ZnS:Mn,Cu films was studied previously by the authors in connection with the dc-electroluminescence [7,8].…”

“…Thin ZnS:Mn films were deposited on a glass substrate, previously provided with indium-tin-oxide, by thermal evaporation in vacuum of about 10 -4 Pa. Copper was introduced into the film through immersing it in aqueous solution of CuCl2 and then annealing at 673 K in vacuum to force an uniform dopant distribution and a stucture improvement. More details on the preparation of the samples can be found elsewhere [7].…”
STM images of ZnS:Mn,Cu thin films and spatially resolved current-voltage characteristics are shown. The results make possible to estimate the morphology and conductivity distribution with nanometer resolution.

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.
