ABSTRACT

A broad luminescence spectrum of a ZnSe:Fe crystal is presented, covering a wavelength range of 350–800 nm at temperatures of 18–230 K. Luminescence of the sample was excited using a continuous-wave helium-cadmium laser with a wavelength of λex = 325 nm (He–Cd laser). The obtained broad luminescence spectra at 18 K and 140 K were decomposed into Gaussian components, after which the results were subjected to detailed analysis.

Keywords: ZnSe polycrystalline CVD chemical vapor deposition), iron impurities, ZnSe:Fe crystals, high isostatic pressure (HIP), decomposition of luminescence spectra into Gaussian components.
