The observation of the intense yellow-green photoluminescence band peaked at 565 nm from CuAlS₂ crystals, grown by the chemical vapour transport technique and subsequently doped with Cd, is reported. The emission is interpreted as originating from donor-acceptor pair recombination, involving deep levels, formed by the Cd-introduced defects.
