Abstract

Time-resolved photoluminescence has been used to study carrier recombination in n- and p-type doped ZnSe at room temperature. A band-edge photoluminescence decay time of ~240 ps has been measured for heavily doped n-type material together with a relaxation time of a few microseconds for the associated deep-level emission. The band-edge photoluminescence decay time for p-type doped material was =11 ps and is indicative of a high level of nonradiative Shockley-Read recombination.
