Abstract
We have produced nanostructured layers based on supersaturated Pb1−x Cd x Se (x = 0−0.20) solid solutions with an efficient room-temperature photoluminescence in the range 3–5 μm and studied the effect of growth conditions on their chemical and phase compositions and properties. Their photoluminescence spectra have been measured, and the main radiative recombination mechanisms in activated solid-solution layers have been identified. The role of iodine in the formation of the emitting nanostructures has been discussed.
