Absorption and luminescence spectra of amorphous CdI2 thin film were measur
ed at liquid nitrogen temperature. Two emission bands were observed at 2.3
and 3.1 eV, and the intensity ratio between them depends on the excitation
energy. The 3.1 eV emission is explained in terms of the MX6 model which ex
plains the emission mechanism of the CdI2 crystal, but the other is not exp
lained. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
