Abstract:
Undoped and Sm 3+ -doped BaAl 2 S 4 and BaAl 2 Se 4 single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method. The optical energy band gaps of the BaAl 2 S 4 and BaAl 2 Se 4 were found to be 4.10 and 3.47 eV, respectively, at 5 K. In their photoluminescence spectra measured at 5 K, broad emission peaks at 459 and 601 nm appeared in the BaAl 2 S 4 and at 486 and 652 nm in the BaAl 2 Se 4 . These emissions are assigned to donor–acceptor pair recombinations. Sharp emission peaks were observed in the Sm 3+ -doped BaAl 2 S 4 and BaAl 2 Se 4 single crystals at 5 K. Taking into account the ionic radii of the cations and Sm 3+ , these sharp emission peaks are attributed to the electron transitions between the energy levels of Sm 3+ substituting with the Ba site.
