Specific features of the luminescence and conductivity of zinc selenide on exposure to X-ray and optical excitation
The set of experimental data on the X-ray-excited luminescence and X-ray
induced conductivity of ZnSe are compared to the data on the photoluminescence
and photoconductivity. It is experimentally established that the
current-voltage characteristics and the kinetics of phosphorescence and current
relaxation depend on the type of excitation. It is found that the external
electric field influences the intensity and shape of bands in the luminescence
spectra. It is shown that the character of excitation defines the kinetics of
recombination, charge carrier trapping, and conductivity in wide-gap
semiconductors.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, published in Fizika i Tekhnika Poluprovodnikov,

Ground and Excited State Exciton Spectra from GaN Grown by Molecular-Beam Epitaxy
The emission and reflection spectra of GaN have been investigated in the intrinsic region and the data have been interpreted in terms of the wurtzite crystal band structure. Three intrinsic exciton transitions have been observed, one associated with each of the valence bands. Exciton excited states associated with the two top valence bands were also observed. The exciton binding energies, the band-gap energies, and the exciton Bohr radii are all reported along with the dielectric constant and the spin-orbit and crystal-field parameters for GaN
