Abstract

High resistivity CdTe:In and CdZnTe samples were studied by means of continuos and picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). Detected PL signal is affected by non-radiative trapping into defects, while radiative recombination has an excitonic character. Time-resolved PL can be described by two lifetimes: the first (30-60 ps) takes into account fast non radiative recombination, the second in the range 200-300 ps can be related to exciton decay.
