Abstract:
Nanoscale structures based on zinc and cadmium sulfides doped with Mn, Cu, and Eu ions were synthesized by the method of emerging reagents in a polymerizing medium of methyl methacrylate. The broadband photoluminescence of the compositions is associated with recombination processes at the defect levels of semiconductor structures. Narrow photoluminescence bands occur during electron transitions between the energy levels of Eu$^{3+}$ ions. The excitation of photoluminescence occurs as a result of the interband transition and electron transitions to the levels of structural defects, as well as during self-absorption and energy transfer to the levels of Eu$^{3+}$ ions.
