Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Chalcopyrite-Type CuAlS2

Article Preview

Abstract:

Copper aluminum disulfide (CuAlS2) powders were synthesized in an evacuated ampoule at elevated temperatures. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the powders heated at temperatures higher than 800oC were single-phase CuAlS2. In the cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra measured at room temperature, the powders heated at temperatures higher than 600oC exhibited a visible emission peak at approximately 1.8 eV and a distinct ultraviolet emission peak at 3.45 eV. The powder heated at 700oC showed the maximum intensity of ultraviolet emission which is considered to be associated with excitons.
