Effect of Te on the self-activated emission of ZnSe

  • 1. Moscow Power Engineering Institute (Technical University) (Russian Federation)

Description

An interpretation of the optical properties of ZnSe is suggested. The interpretation is based on the anticrossing band theory, which specifies the oxygen-induced splitting of the conduction band. It is shown that the new approach provides a means for understanding the specific features of the self-activated luminescence in ZnSe:O and (ZnSe:O):Te. The effect of small (<1%) Te additives on the luminescence of ZnSe:Te in the edge spectral region is interpreted. The model of electronic transitions is presented.
