Description

ZnTe:Cr2+ layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) GaAs substrates and doped with chromium from a metallic source or CrI3 compound have been studied by current deep level transient spectroscopy (I-DLTS). The spectra of the layers show the presence of a deep level with an activation energy of (1.09 ± 0.03) eV, related to a center originating from an electric-field-induced Cr2+-Cr+ transition. Doping with chromium from CrI3 compound eliminates a number of point defects characteristic of ZnTe epitaxial layers, but leads to pronounced contamination of the grown films with iodine
