Abstract :

A Lead Iodide is a layered semiconductor having the direct band gap 2.55eV with space group D3d. They consists of molecular sheets, each consisting of a layer cation sandwiched between two layers of hexagonal close packed anion. The forces within a sandwiched are purely ionic in nature, giving a strong binding between an anion and cation layer, whereas the anion layer in adjacent sandwiches are held together by weak van der Waal’s forces of attraction. The layers can be stacked in a variety of ways to form different types of polyptism. The most common structure is the 2H hexagonal structure. The band edge optical properties of single crystals have been studied extensively for about 3 decades. I.Ch. Schluter and M. Schluter [1] have reported that the exitonic absorption at the fundamental band edge is cationic with the conduction band states arising predominantly from Pb, 6P atomic orbital, while the valence band states arise from Pb, 6S orbitals. R. Kleim and F. Raga [2], F. Levy et. al.[3] have investigated on luminescence properties at low temperature. M.S. Skolnick and D. Bimberg [4] have reported that in the emission spectrum of lead iodide, recombination of free exitons bound to neutral donars. Besides these, there often appears a band emission in the lower region. Kleim and Raga [2], Bunskil et. al. [5] has reported that the luminescence of Lead Iodide samples prepared by clearing zone-refined crystals consists of a complex emission band.
