Abstract
The luminescence and conductivity of a set of single crystals of ZnS activated by varying amounts of copper have been investigated. Considerable difficulties exist with the present models for temperature quenching. Conductivity measurements, although complicated by nonohmic contacts, suggest the luminescence centres are the donors of photoelectrons. Lattice irregularities or Cu2S centres are believed to be predominant donors of semi-conduction electrons.
