Abstract:
The results of investigation of the temperature dependence of CdGa$_2$Se$_4$ absorption coefficient in the polarized radiation at 5–300 K and that of the emission intensity at 4.2–77 K are presented. The changes observed for the polarization dependence of absorption coefficient and the radiation intensity with decreasing temperature are attributed to a different velocity of motion of states of the valence-band top $\Gamma_3+\Gamma_4$ and $\Gamma_2$ with changing tetragonal compression.
