Abstract
The absorption, reflection, emission, and luminescence spectra of polycrystalline cadmium sulfide films have been studied at 77 deg K at 4500–5500 A. The films were prepared by sublimination of the powder in argon, hydrogen sulfide, or vacuum, followed by crystallization on a heated or unheated substrate.
Specimens deposited on substrates below 350 deg C had simple absorption and emission spectra no matter which medium was used, but ones coated on substrates above 350 deg C had absorption, reflection, luminescence, and emission spectra with fine structure, which was due to transitions between the 5s21S0 ground state and 5s5p3P1, 5s5p3P2, and 5s5p3P0 excited states of atomic excess cadmium.
Four maxima were found in the excitation spectrum of the blue luminescence (4545, 4605, 4670, and4740 A). The spectrum of the luminescence is independent of exciting wavelength in the range 2200–4900 A.
This structure was observed only for films with hexagonal lattice symmetry.
