Abstract. The effect of γ-radiation with Е = 1.3 MeV energy and D γ = 10…200 krad dose on photoconductivity and photoluminescence features of GaS 0.75 Se 0.25 〈Er〉 single crystals was studied. When analyzing the experimental data it was established that after doping with the rare-earth element erbium and γ-radiation the photoconductivity value and the intensity of photoluminescence radiation increased in the investigated samples. A defect-formation model explaining the observed characteristics was proposed.

Keywords: photoconductivity, photoluminescence, intensity, γ-irradiation, single crystal.
