Abstract
We report on the local photoluminescence properties of grains and grain boundaries of CdSe0.1Te0.9 thin film deposited by the colossal grain growth method using a wide-field hyperspectral imaging technique. We observed significant variations in the photoluminescence intensity of both individual grains and also that of grain boundaries. Multiple sub-bandgap defect peaks were captured in the luminescence spectra in the energy range 1.2 eV to 1.6 eV. The intensity and peak positions of these sub-gap emissions were slightly different among various grains and at the grain boundaries, revealing intra- and inter-grain variations in these polycrystalline thin films. A recently-developed density-of-states based photoluminescence model was extended to include multiple peaks and was fitted to the data. We observed that at a fixed temperature, the quasi-Fermi level splitting energy and a disordered energy parameter can be extracted locally by use of this model.Proceedings Title
