contents CuGaS2 films grown by physical vapour deposition have been studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, using excitation intensity and temperature dependent analyses. We observe free and bound exciton recombinations, three donor-to-acceptor (DA) transitions, and deep-level transitions. The DA transitions at ~ 2.41 eV, 2.398 eV and ~ 2.29 eV are attributed to a common donor level ~ 38+-5 meV and three shallow acceptors at ~ 76 meV, ~ 90 meV and 210 meV above the valence band. This electronic structure is very similar to other chalcopyrite materials. The donor-acceptor transitions are accompanied by phonon replicas. Cu-rich and near-stoichiometric material is dominated by the transitions due to the acceptor at 210 meV. All films show deep-level transitions at ~ 2.15 eV and 1.85 eV due to broad deep defect bands. Slightly Cu-deficient films are dominated by intense transitions at ~ 2.45 eV, attributed to excitonic transitions and the broad defect transition at 2.15 eV.
