Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have assessed the influence of growth process conditions and electron beam excitation density on the external quantum yield of cathodoluminescence in n-CdSe epilayers grown in a quasi-closed system. The highest external quantum yield (2.2% at a temperature of 78 K) has been offered by n-CdSe epilayers grown under near-equilibrium high-temperature deposition conditions.
