CdSe single crystals were doped with Bi and Sb from Sb2Se3 and Bi2Se3 vapor
s. The introduction of Sb and Bi was found to produce new luminescence cent
ers. Both bismuth and antimony generate deep levels in the band gap of CdSe
. The maxima in the photoconductivity spectra of Sb- and Bi-doped CdSe are
redshifted. Both doped and undoped CdSe crystals are shown to be photosensi
tive.
