Abstract

Results from high resolution helium temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy have been correlated to precision lattice constant and transport measurements and to theoretical band gap versus composition behavior. It is found that low temperature PL spectra provide precise determination (+/- 0.02%) of ZnTe mole fraction as well as carrier type, relative impurity concentration and point defect properties of these substrates. In addition helium and room temperature PL results are correlated to determine the accuracy of room temperature measurements for composition determination.
