Green electroluminescence and photoluminescence in CdS

Abstract: The electroluminescence emission spectrum of forward‐biased MIS diodes on high‐purity single crystal CdS is studied over the temperature range 50 to 290 K. At room temperature the emission consists of two intense bands in the green at (5135 ± 25) and (5300 ± 15) A, while at lower temperatures considerably more structure is observed. Thus at 50 K free and bound exciton emission is particularly prominent. Evidence is presented to suggest that the band at (5135 ± 25)Å at room temperature is associated with free e… Show more

“…14 At room temperature, CdS is known for the difficulty to achieve green emission at the bandgap. 15 Rather frequently, it occurs that no emission in the green spectral range is observed at all or the emission spectra are visually dominated by red photoluminescence due to impurities and sulfur vacancies. The TPL spectrum of the CdS crystal shown in Fig.…”

“…12 It is noteworthy that the emission takes place according to the straightforward principle of detailed balance since CdS is known to show peculiar emission features far from the ideal case. 13 As shown in Figs. 2͑a͒ and 2͑b͒, the TPL peak is at 2.35 eV and 2.40 eV for CdS Ќ and CdS ʈ , respectively.…”

“…The II-VI compound semiconductor CdS is an appealing host material for light emitting devices (LEDs) due to its theoretical capability to emit green light close to the highest sensitivity to the human eye. However, crystalline CdS shows rather poor photoluminescence (PL) features at 300 K [1]. In many cases the material shows either no emission at the gap energy or the emission spectrum is visually dominated by red emission clearly below the gap at about 2.45 eV [2].…”
