Vp. Makhnii et al., Physical properties of cadmium selenide layers produced by solid-state substitution reactions, INORG MATER, 36(5), 2000, pp. 518-519
Hexagonal and cubic CdSe layers were produced on single-crystal CdS and ZnS
e substrates by solid-state substitution reactions. The room-temperature co
nductivity of the layers is dominated by donor levels with ionization energ
ies of 0.7 and 0.16 eV for alpha- and beta-CdSe, respectively. The 300-K ph
otoluminescence spectra of the layers show two emissions differing in origi
n: one is due to interband transitions, and the other to dissociation of ex
citons upon inelastic scattering from electrons.
