Abstract
Two photo-luminescence bands characterized by their excitation in c-As2S3 shows a surprising similarity to those in a-As2S3. In addition, a band in c-As2S3 can be interpreted as due to the recombination of localized excitons as well as a luminescence band in a-As2S3. The luminescence bands in a-As2S3 are discussed on the basis of the luminescence processes in c-As2S3.
