Nonradiative capture of hot photoelectrons by multiphonon emission in highly excited CdS crystals

Abstract
Luminescence kinetics of nonthermalized electron‐hole plasma in highly excited CdS crystals with different concentration of native defects has been studied at T=298 K. The shape of the kinetics indicated an enhancement of the plasma nonradiative recombination with increased carrier effective temperature. The experimental results are in good agreement with a model of thermal activation of nonradiative capture by multiphonon emission in centers with the barrier energy of W=110 meV.
