Abstract

It is shown that changes in luminescence characteristics of zinc sulfide and oxide in the presence of external effects that alter the surface charge are associated with a change in the parameters of surface barriers and can be explained within the framework of a model that takes into account separation of recombining partners in the Schottky barriers. We suggest a barrier mechanism for the effect of the surface region of a crystal on experimentally measured luminescence parameters and show that errors occuring in the measurement of these parameters can reach 10% and greater, depending on the depth of penetration of light.
