In this paper we investigate phosphorus doped ZnMnTe by means of infrared absorption. We report pronounced changes in the absorption spectra upon increasing phosphorus doping and upon annealing at 850 C in nitrogen atmosphere at high pressure. From the far-infrared local vibrational spectra we identify the lattice sites of phosphorus in ZnMnTe and interpret the strong compensation of the as-grown material in terms of at least partial passivation by hydrogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
