A material composed of InSe and CdSe crystallites was obtained by heat treatment at 753K of InSe single crystalline plates in Cd vapour for 3÷24 hours. The average diameters of CdSe and InSe crystallites determined from diffraction lines analysis are respectively equal to 20 nm and 22 nm. The photoluminescence spectra at 300K and 80K of composite decompose well into two Gaussian curves, one is in good correlation with the photoluminescence of CdSe crystals and the other is shifted to higher energies than the width of the band gap of CdSe crystals.

This work studies the technological preparation conditions, morphology, structural char- acteristics and elemental composition, and optical and photoluminescent properties of GaSe single crystals and Eu-doped β–Ga2O3 nanoformations on ε–GaSe:Eu single crystal substrate, obtained by heat treatment at 750–900 ◦C, with a duration from 30 min to 12 h, in water vapor-enriched atmosphere, of GaSe plates doped with 0.02–3.00 at. % Eu. The defects on the (0001) surface of GaSe:Eu plates serve as nucleation centers of β–Ga2O3:Eu crystallites. For 0.02 at. % Eu doping, the fundamental absorption edge of GaSe:Eu crystals at room temperature is formed by n = 1 direct excitons, while at 3.00 at. % doping, Eu completely shields the electron–hole bonds. The band gap of nanostructured β–Ga2O3:Eu layer, determined from diffuse reflectance spectra, depends on the dopant concentration and ranges from 4.64 eV to 4.87 eV, for 3.00 and 0.05 at. % doping, respectively. At 0.02 at. % doping level, the PL spectrum of ε–GaSe:Eu single crystals consists of the n = 1 exciton band, together with the impurity band with a maximum intensity at 800 nm. Fabry–Perrot cavities with a width of 9.3 μm are formed in these single crystals, which determine the interference structure of the impurity PL band. At 1.00–3.00 at. % Eu concentrations, the PL spectra of GaSe:Eu single crystals and β–Ga2O3:Eu nanowire/nanolamellae layers are determined by electronic transitions of Eu2+ and Eu3+ ions.
Photoelectric and photoluminescence properties of CdTe–GaTe composite [Articol]
(2016) Caraman, Iuliana; Spalatu, Nicolae; Evtodiev, Igor; Untila, Dumitru; Leontie, Liviu; Caraman, Mihail
A GaTe–CdTe composite was obtained by thermal treatment at 1020 K of GaTe single crystals in Cd vapor atmosphere. The composite photoluminescence, photoconductivity, and com- position are studied in this work. The photosensitivity and photoluminescence band structure are determined for both the primary crystals and the composite. The CdTe crystallites create, in the GaTe bandgap, recombination and trapping levels, which determine the structure of the photoluminescence spectra and the spectral range of composite photosensitivity. The photoluminescence spectrum of the composite at 80 K contains characteristic bands of both composite components, GaTe and CdTe. From the analysis of thermally stimulated luminescence curves, the energies of the electron trapping levels in the composite are determined.
Preparation, chemical composition, and optical properties of (β–Ga2O3 composite thin films)/(GaSxSe1−x lamellar solid solutions) nanostructures [Articol]
(2023) Sprincean, Veaceslav; Leontie, Liviu; Caraman, Iuliana; Lupan, Oleg; Adeling, Rainer; Gurlui, Silviu; Cârlescu, Aurelian; Doroftei, Corneliu; Caraman, Mihail
GaSxSe1−x solid solutions are layered semiconductors with a band gap between 2.0 and 2.6 eV. Their single crystals are formed by planar packings of S/Se-Ga-Ga-S/Se type, with weak polarization bonds between them, which allows obtaining, by splitting, plan-parallel lamellae with atomically smooth surfaces. By heat treatment in a normal or water vapor-enriched atmosphere, their plates are covered with a layer consisting of β–Ga2O3 nanowires/nanoribbons. In this work, the elemental and chemical composition, surface morphology, as well as optical, photoluminescent, and photoelectric properties of β–Ga2O3 layer formed on GaSxSe1−x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions (as substrate) are studied. The correlation is made between the composition (x) of the primary material, technological preparation conditions of the oxide-semiconducting layer, and the optical, photoelectric, and photoluminescent properties of β–Ga2O3 (nanosized layers)/GaSxSe1−x structures. From the analysis of the fundamental absorption edge, photoluminescence, and photoconductivity, the character of the optical transitions and the optical band gap in the range of 4.5–4.8 eV were determined, as well as the mechanisms behind blue-green photoluminescence and photoconduc- tivity in the fundamental absorption band region. The photoluminescence bands in the blue-green region are characteristic of β–Ga2O3 nanowires/nanolamellae structures. The photoconductivity of β–Ga2O3 structures on GaSxSe1−x solid solution substrate is determined by their strong fundamental absorption. As synthesized structures hold promise for potential applications in UV receivers, UV-C sources, gas sensors, as well as photocatalytic decomposition of water and organic pollutants.
