Abstract
High quality CuBr film is fabricated by film–substrate chemical reaction of CuCl on KBr, where CuCl is vacuum-deposited film of the order of ∼ 100 nm thickness and KBr is fleshly-cleaved single crystal. The resulting CuBr films show ∼ 10 3 times higher efficiency of free-exciton photoluminescence (PL) than conventional CuBr films. The efficiency exceeds that of conventional CuCl films even by a factor of ∼ 10 2, despite the general recognition that the free-exciton PL from CuBr is much weaker than that from CuCl. The present result encourages us to challenge to rethink the exciton PL in CuBr as well as in CuCl, because the compounds are the model materials for basic and application studies of linear/nonlinear exciton-related PL properties of solids.
