Quantum-dimensional near-surface recombination of photocarriers in CdTe microcrystals

The low-temperature (T = 2 K) photoluminescence spectra of a p-CdTe/n-CdS film heterostructure containing CdTe microcrystals have been studied. In the spectral region above the intrinsic absorption edge of bulk CdTe, a dominant “superhot” radiation band was found. The band arises because of optical transitions of electrons from near-surface levels of the spatial quantization of a microcrystal to the valence band states.
