Abstract

The luminescence in the random system Cd_0.45Mn_0.55Te which is due to a ⁴T₁ → ⁶A₁ transition within the Mn²⁺-ions covers a phonon-broadened distribution of ⁴T₁-states.¹⁾ The data of fig. 1 are obtained from a cw-experiment using a focussed Ar-laser beam at 514 nm. The luminescence was recorded at the short- and longwavelength side of the band at 580 and 680 nm respectively. Both intensities show a nonlinear increase with laser power, but only that from the 580 nm side saturates.
