Title: Study of the Radiative Recombination of Free Carriers Produced by Electron Bombardment in Cadmium Sulfide (thesis); ETUDE DE LA RECOMBINAISON RADIATIVE DES PORTEURS LIBRES PRODUITS PAR UN BOMBARDEMENT ELECTRONIQUE DANS LE SULFURE DE CADMIUM (THESES)

The structure of the blue emission at the temperature of liquid nitrogen was studied using improved apparatus. The observations were carried to the temperature of liquid He in order to deduce the mechanism of the recombination of the free carriers. Before analysis of the light emitted by CdS single crystals exposed to electron bombardment and before a description of the experimental apparatus, the interaction of electron beams with the crystal and the resultant formation of free carriers are studied theoretically. The experimental study showed that the structure of the emission situated at the absorption limit, obtained by electron bombardment, does not differ basically from that observed under uv irradiation. However, the existence at 4 deg K of radiation (not observed with uv irradiation) with wave lengths less than 4.856 A was shown. (J.S.R.)
