Abstract
This paper examines the effect of high-temperature doping conditions on Cr2+ diffusion in polycrystalline zinc selenide. The activation energy for the diffusion process is determined in the temperature range 900–1100°C for annealing in an argon atmosphere and zinc vapor, and the mechanism responsible for the enhanced chromium diffusion in the case of doping in zinc vapor is discussed.
