Abstract

Photoluminescence spectra have been studied in CuAlS2 single crystals doped with a series of rare-earth ions grown by the chemical vapor transport technique. Several sharp emissions originated from electronic transitions between the L-S coupling terms of 4f-shell originated multiplets have been observed for Tb3+, Tm3+ and Ho3+ ions in CuAlS2 host, whereas the spectra of Ce- and Sm-doped crystals showed no significant difference from the undoped crystals.
