Abstract
Al2O3 has demonstrated excellent Cd(Se, Te) surface passivation. In this work, recombination mechanisms were investigated by comparing simulations of time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) to PL decay data (320 ns effective lifetime) for Al2O3/Cd(Se, Te)/Al2O3 double heterostructures. Models were employed to investigate the effects of bulk and surface recombination, electric fields, mobility, and doping by simulating intensity-dependent single- (1PE) and two-photon excitation (2PE) TRPL. 2PE simulations replicate decay behavior while 1PE simulations require attention to charge redistribution. Various coupled mechanisms cannot be distinguished from PL decay data alone. Complementary measurements are required to constrain the model parameters and isolate mechanisms.
