Optical an photoelectric properties odf ZnSe:Ti crystals

Abstract

The photoconductivity and photoluminescence spectra of ZnSe:Ti crystals in the visible and infrared spectral regions are studied. It is established that the high-temperature impurity-induced photoconductivity of ZnSe:Ti crystals is defined by the optical transitions of electrons from the ³A₂(F) ground state to highenergy excited states, with the subsequent thermal transitions of electrons to the conduction band. The efficient excitation of intracenter luminescence of ZnSe:Ti crystals is achieved by light from the region of the intrinsic absorption of Ti²⁺ ions.
