Abstract

Semiconducting films of CdTe grown by close-spaced vapour transport (csvt) were studied by photoluminescence. One luminescence band located around 1.588 eV and labelled as/be was observed at a temperature of T = 10 K. Such a band was studied over a wide range of temperatures (10-300 K), and the mechanisms involved in it were identified. Both band-to-band (B-B) and excitonic (be) recombination mechanisms are important at high temperatures (T≥150 K), whereas at low temperatures the be mechanism is the most important.
