The irradiation-induced effects in Cu(In,Ca)Se2 thin films after irradiation with hydrogen ions with dose of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] and different energies in the range of 2.5–10[Formula: see text]keV were studied. Irradiated and nonirradiated thin films were investigated by low-temperature (4.2[Formula: see text]K) photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation methods. The appearance of intense bands at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]eV and 0.77[Formula: see text]eV in the photoluminescence spectra may be related to radiative recombination on the irradiation-induced defects with deep energy levels in the bandgap of Cu(In,Ca)Se2 solid solutions. A possible nature of these defects and process of radiative recombination are discussed.

In thin films of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solid solutions radiation-induced effects after irradiation of hydrogen ions with an energy of 2.5, 5 and 10 keV with dose of ~ 3∙10^15 cm-2 were studied. A comparative analysis of the optical characteristics of non-implanted and implanted Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films was carried out based on the measurements of photoluminescence spectra and the luminescence excitation spectra at liquid helium temperature of ~ 4.2 K. The bandgap of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solid solutions determined from the data of mathematical processing of the luminescence excitation spectra was ~ 1.171 eV. An intense band with a maximum of ~ 1.089 eV was found in the photoluminescence spectra of non-implanted and hydrogen-implanted Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films caused by the recombination of free electrons with holes localized in the tails of the valence band. It was established that appearance of intense broad bands in the photoluminescence spectra with maxima in the energy range of ~ 0.92 eV and ~ 0.77 eV is due to radiative recombination of nonequilibrium charge carriers at deep energy levels of acceptor type ion-induced defects formed in the bandgap of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solid solutions. The conditions for the appearance of the ionic passivation effect of dangling electronic bonds on the surface and in the bulk of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 polycrystalline films, possible nature of point defects in the structure and the mechanisms of radiative recombination are discussed.

ABSTRACTThin-film Zn2GeO4:Mn phosphors with lower temperature of crystallization and potentially compatible with industrial technologies were investigated. The technology of thin films synthesis has been developed and their structure and crystal parameters have been investigated. Photoluminescence excitation spectra, photoconductivity, temperature dependencies and ESR-spectra of manganese ions were studied. A mechanism for luminescence in this phosphor has been proposed. Results are presented of cathodo- and electro-luminescence of thin film structures of Zn2GeO4:Mn.

Photoluminescence of nanoscale structures based on zinc, cadmium and manganese sulfides depending on the conditions of synthesis and doping in the medium (poly)methylmethacrylate (PMMA). Photoluminescence excitation is associated with interband transitions of electrons in the semiconductor structures, absorption of optical radiation energy by defects in the crystal structure, as well as with the transfer of energy to the excited energy levels of Mn2+ ions. Luminescence occurs as a result of recombination processes at the levels of defects in the structure of the surface of particles and 4T1 → 6A1 transitions between the proper energy levels of Mn2+ ions. Based on changes in the photoluminescence spectra and photoluminescence excitation of PMMA/(Zn,Cd,Mn)S compositions, assumptions are made about the structure of particles. It is shown that their photoluminescence is affected by the distribution of Mn2+ ions in the structure of layers and on the surface of particles.
