Abstract

Cd1-xZnxTe ZriTe crystals grown by the travelling heater methode (THM) have been investigated by low temperature photoluminescence (PL). The excitonic energy gap as a function of the alloy composition was determined for the complete range of x - 0 to x - 1. The composition dependent broadening of the neutral acceptor bound exciton (A°X) line was measured and compared to theoretical calculations. The Donor - Acceptor pair luminescence in the crystals is a superposition of recombinations due to residual Cu acceptors and A - centers (anion vacancy - donor pairs ).
