Abstract
Free- and bound-exciton emission with longitudinal optical (LO) phonon cooperation is reported in undoped TlBr. The binding energies of the bound excitons with respect to the free exciton are 4 and 7 meV, respectively. A photocurrent peak at the energy of the free exciton at 4 K is interpreted as due to an Auger process at the bound-exciton complexes. Extrinsic photocurrent is reported. The temperature dependence of its excitation spectrum is anomalous from the point of view of the conventional Riehl-Schön recombination model and is shown to be consistent with a model involving donor-acceptor pairs.Keywords
