Direct current electroluminescence in ZnS

This review deals mainly with direct current electroluminescence (dcel) in manganese and copper activated ZnS. The preparative techniques and dcel observations on powders, thin films and single crystals are described. The basic mechanisms are outlined and possible future developments are discussed.
