In situ variations of the scintillation characteristics in GaN and CdS layers under irradiation by 1.6 MeV protons

摘要

Evolution of the non-radiative and radiative recombination in GaN and CdS 2.5-20 μm thick layers has been examined by the in situ measurements of the 1.6 MeV proton induced luminescence and laser excited photoconductivity characteristics. The introduction rate of radiation defects has been evaluated by the comparative analysis of the laser and proton beam induced luminescence for the examined GaN and CdS layers.
