In heavily chlorine‐doped CdS crystals a wide emission band is investigated. This band is situated closely to the edge of the band gap and is interpretated as a band‐to‐band radiative recombination of equilibrium electrons and photocreated holes. A comparison is made of the tail of the states density obtained according to the proposed mechanism from the experiment with a theoretical calculation by Helperin and Lax.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
