Luminescent properties of CuGaS2 doped with Cd or Zn

The photoluminescence spectra of CuGaS2 crystals doped with Cd or Zn vary continuously from a green emission (0.51 μ) to an orange emission (∼ 0.59 μ) depending upon the concentrations of Cd and Zn. The room‐temperature internal quantum efficiency is reproducibly 0.2%. The electroluminescent efficiencies of CuGaS2: CdS heterojunction LEDs fabricated by using these substrates are not appreciably higher than the best efficiencies reported earlier.
