The luminescence of the semimagnetic semiconductor Zn1-xMnxSe

Abstract: Zn,-,Mn,Se ( 0 . 0 1 6 ~~~0 . 4 4 5 ) shows luminescence emission not only in the yellow spectral range ("T,+6A,) but also in the near infrared. The excitation spectra of the yellow and of the infrared band are compared at different concentrations x and different temperatures T. Both emission bands are connected by energy transfer. While the yellow emission is well described by a transition within the 3d shell of tetrahedrally coordinated Mn2+ the nature of the infrared emission is not yet clear.

“…A similar behavior has been observed earlier for this material, using different experimental techniques [8,9]. This anomaly of the energy gap with concentration is also exhibited by other DMS [8,16 to 181. 3ylsma et al [8] have attributed this anomalous behavior of the energy gap with the concentration x to the strong s-d and p-d exchange interactions common to all DMS.…”

“…The broadness observed in the absorption bands as the temperature increases may be due to the perturbations introduced by the lattice vibrations. Similar effects have been observed in luminescence in the same alloy [16].…”

“…1, curve a ) has a pronounced maximum a t E = 2.68 eV. The excitation spectrum of the 4T, -+ 6A, emission band in this spectral region is dominated by the 4E excitation band of Mn2+ [7]. There is no temperature shift for this excitation maximum a t E = 2.68 eV.…”

“…The PL peak G4.8.2 around ∼420 nm is attributed to a sub-bandgap luminescence of the ZnSe host lattice [11]. The peak at ∼570 nm is attributed to the 4 T 1 → 6 A 1 transition in the Mn 2+ ion and is similar to Mn 2+ in bulk ZnSe [13]. For samples containing 0.9 % Mn 2+ the total luminescence quantum efficiency (dominated by the Mn 2+ PL) has become comparable to that of the undoped sample (dominated by the ZnSe PL).…”
