Photoluminescence of Nanocomposites Obtained by Heat Treatment of GaS, GaSe, GaTe and InSe Single Crystals in Cd and Zn Vapor

Part of the NanoScience and Technology book series (NANO)

Abstract

The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaS, GaSe, GaTe and InSe semiconductors used as the basis materials to obtain nanocomposite by heat treatment in Zn and Cd vapor were studied. The PL spectra of ZnS–GaS, CdSe–GaSe, CdSe–InSe, ZnSe–InSe composites consist of wide bands covering a wide range of wavelengths in the antistokes region for CdSe, ZnSe and GaS crystallites from composites. The antistokes branches of spectra are interpreted as the shift of PL bands to high energies for nanosized crystallites.
