Abstract

We used photoluminescence spectroscopy to monitor CdTe in-situ during surface processing in order to optimize the surface electronic quality. Spectra of optimally-prepared (100) films grown by molecular beam epitaxy reveal low intensity emission from deep states relative to typical bulk-grown material.
