Abstract

We report photoluminescence in HgTe-CdTe superlattices that originates in the CdTe layers. We see a near-band-gap line at 1.493 eV, which demonstrates that strain and Hg-Cd substitutional diffusion are small in the CdTe layers. In addition, a deep-level line at 0.775 eV, possibly due to recombination along dislocation lines, is observed.
