R. Westphaling et al., PHOTOLUMINESCENCE QUANTUM EFFICIENCY AND DYNAMICS IN ZNSE1-XTEX AND CDS1-XSEX MIXED-CRYSTALS, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 980-982
We have studied the external photoluminescence quantum efficiency eta(
ext) of ternary II-VI semiconductor solid solutions which is strongly
influenced by the crystal quality due to the density of nonradiative r
ecombination centers. The measurements were carried out with an integr
ating sphere fitted into a cryostat. The results are confirmed by time
-resolved photoluminescence experiments which show the influence of no
nradiative recombination processes on the recombination times of local
ized excitons.
