Separation of excitonic and electron-hole processes in metal tungstates

Nagirnyi, V ; Kirm, M ; Kotlov, A ; Lushchik, A and Jönsson, Leif LU (2003) In Journal of Luminescence 102. p.597-603
Abstract
Absorption, reflection and emission polarization spectra of CdWO4 crystals have been studied in the region 3.5-30 eV in order to distinguish the excitonic and electron-hole processes in the vicinity of the band gap. The following parameters have been defined from the Urbach tail study at 6-300 K: E-0 = 5 eV, sigma(0) = 0.31, homega = 70 meV (565 cm(-1)). Excitonic processes have been shown to dominate at excitation of tungstate crystals in the lower part of the conduction band. Excitons are formed due to the transitions into the tungstate W5d states hybridized with O6p and possess a very strong tendency for self-trapping. Free electrons and holes can be created at the energies 1-2 eV (depending on the crystal) higher than the bottom of the... (More)
