In this paper, photoluminescence studies of CuGaSe2 thin films grown by met
alorganic chemical vapor deposition on ZnO/glass substrates are presented.
Generally, the emission is constituted by a large peak for which the intens
ity is higher for stoichiometric samples than for Cu-rich and Ga-rich thin
films. The peak shifts towards higher energies upon increasing the Ga conte
nt. From the dependence on excitation intensity and temperature, the emissi
on is identified as a donor-acceptor pair (DAP) transition. (C) 2001 Elsevi
