Photoluminescence of CdIn2S4 single crystals

Abstract: The photoluminescence of CdIn2S4 single crystals grown using the Bridgman technique is analysed in detail; the effect of different treatments (thermal treatments in various atmospheres, electrodiffusions, and γ‐irradiation) on the shape of the emission bands is studied. From this analysis one of the two emission bands which characterize the CdIn2S4 luminescence can be attributed to a centre formed by a sulphur vacancy; the other band is due to a centre probably connected to some kind of intrinsic disorder char… Show more

“…As well, owing to the comparatively large acceptor binding energy, the capture cross section of ionized acceptors is likely to be larger than those of donors (22). Thus, free holes are captured by ionized acceptors before free electrons are captured by ionized donors, as long as both types of ionized impurities are present in similar concen- The luminescence band at 1.58 eV, observed in all the present spectra, has been reported in many previous studies (9,11,12,20) and has been attributed to the electron transition 3 from the trap distribution D to an unrelaxed acceptor level A,. The 1.68-eV structure can be assigned to the electron transition 2 from the conduction band to the same unrelaxed acceptor.…”

“…Photoluminescence (PL) (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) and photoconductivity ( 1 5 -19) techniaues have been used for the detection and characterization of the high density of localized levels in the gap and the analysis of their nature and properties. In all the com-11 Ill VI pounds of stoichiometry A B, X, , the low-temperature intrinsically excited PL emission spectra display a wide band recently attributed to donor-acceptor pair recombination (1 1).…”

“…The considerable concentration of intrinsic defects, characteristic of AITBillCl* compounds, is responsible for the formation of band tails of the density states (D). The already existing models of local levels proposed in [3,5,6,151 were also taken into consideration in developing the present model.…”

“…In order to realize these applications, it is of primary importance to grow high-quality epilayers and characterize the fundamental properties. Such studies were carried out on the bulk crystals that were grown by chemical transport and Bridgman method for the past years [2,[5][6][7][8][9][10]. Also, the thin film of CdIn 2 S 4 deposited by using vacuum evaporation [11][12][13] had been achieved.…”

“…The band gap of the CdIn 2 S 4 at room temperature is 2.62 eV with the direct transition. The CdIn 2 S 4 is one of materials to have the potential capability for the applications of photoconductor, solar cell, and light emitting diode (LED) [1][2][3][4]. In order to realize these applications, it is of primary importance to grow high-quality epilayers and characterize the fundamental properties.…”
