STUDY OF THE EDGE EMISSION OF CADMIUM SULPHIDE BOMBARDED BY ELECTRONS
Abstract
During the year 1962-1963 research was devoted to preliminary research on the luminosity emitted when 2cdS, cooled to liquid helium temperature, is bombarded with electrons. Experiments carried out on CdS tend to emphasize the importance, increasing with current, of the oblique transition. The "central" transition, not very strong for weak currents, increases with the current although more slowly than does the oblique transition. This means that for CdS, the number of electrons reaching the centre of the Brillouin zone increases less rapidly than the probability of oblique transition due to increasing perturbations in the lattice. Conclusions from studies on Si, although of a provisional nature, are of the same order.
