A study of the growth of CdSexS1-x crystallites within a glass matrix

This brief report describes the results of an investigation into the growth of CdSexS1-x crystallites in a glass matrix. The effects of crystallite growth temperature upon the crystallite sizes and stoichiometry, as determined by photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies, are discussed. A novel effect is reported whereby the sizes of the semiconductor crystallites can be controlled by altering the initial doping level of the glass.
