ZnPSe as ultrabright indirect bandgap system with microsecond excitonic lifetimes
arXiv:2111.07342 · doi:10.1073/pnas.2207074119
Abstract
We report an optical characterization of ZnPSe crystals that demonstrates indirect band gap characteristics in combination with unusually strong photoluminescence. We found evidence of interband recombination from excitonic states with microsecond lifetimes. Through optical characterization, we reconstructed the electronic band scheme relevant for fundamental processes of light absorption, carrier relaxation and radiative recombination. The investigation of the radiative processes in the presence of magnetic field revealed spin polarization of fundamental electronic states. This observation opens a pathway towards controlling the spin of excitonic states in technologically relevant microsecond timescales.
