Photoluminescence properties of ZnIn₂Se₄

ABSTRACT

The photoluminescence properties of ZnIn₂Se₄ were studied at 300K by use of confocal laser microspectrometry. For the first time, edge luminescence with a maximum at 674 nm was observed. Nonlinear intensity dependence of the photoluminescence on the excitation light is found.

Keywords: ZnIn₂Se₄, edge luminescence, antistructural defects.
