Abstract
The effect of doping with iron (thermal diffusion from a surface) on the luminescence of zinc-selenide single crystals in the wavelength range 0.44–0.72 μm and on the spatial distribution of luminescence centers are studied. By means of two-photon confocal microscopy, planar and volume maps of edge (exciton) and impurity–defect luminescence in the above-indicated spectral range are obtained for both doped and undoped crystals. It is shown that crystal regions containing a high iron concentration exhibit low-intensity luminescence in this range. It is found that, in the process of diffusion, several types of impurity–defect centers distributed in a complex way within the crystal bulk are formed. The nature of these centers is discussed.
