Correlation of Cu and VZn concentration within the diffusion region of ZnSe monocrystals

Abstract

In this paper both the diffusion of Cu ions in ZnSe monocrystals of M1-yX type as well as its influence on the concentration of cation vacancy have been investigated. For the purpose of the investigation the phenomenon of luminescence was used since the diffused impurity by acting on the native defects of the crystal was found to have caused the formation of complexes e.g. centers of luminescence. Thus we can have a few diffusion mechanisms.
