INFLUENCE OF MICROWAVE RADIATION TREATMENT ON PHOTOLUMINESCENT PROPERTIES OF II-VI COMPOUNDS (REVIEW)

The state of the problem of microwave frequency treatment of II-VI compounds has been analyzed. The factors of microwave interactions of electromagnetic radiation with semiconductor materials and features of induced transformations of their spectra of radiative recombination have been ascertained. Estimations of thermal and nonthermal energy transformations for this kind of interaction and possible physical mechanisms of microwave effects on II-VI compounds have been adduced.

Keywords: microwave radiation treatment, photoluminescence, cadmium telluride, cadmium sulfide, nonthermal interaction.
