Cathodoluminescence study of CdTe crystals doped with Bi and Bi : Yb

Bi doped and Bi and Yb codoped CdTe crystals grown by the Bridgman method have been characterized by cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope. CL images show a dense network of highly decorated grain boundaries in the Bi doped samples and dopant striations in the codoped crystals...

Sumario:Bi doped and Bi and Yb codoped CdTe crystals grown by the Bridgman method have been characterized by cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope. CL images show a dense network of highly decorated grain boundaries in the Bi doped samples and dopant striations in the codoped crystals, attributed to the presence of Yb. Bi contributes to the appearance of the A luminescence band at 1.43 eV. The influence of Yb dopant on the CL spectra is discussed.
