Abstract

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of iron-doped ZnSe single crystals were studied. In addition to cubic Fe3+ and Mn2+ centers and also Fe2+, and Cr2+ centers, monoclinic Fe3+ complexes locally compensated by Cu+ ions were revealed. Some trigonal centers with a spin of 3/2 were also found and studied. The zero-field splittings of monoclinic centers were measured, and the parameters of the monoclinic and trigonal spin Hamiltonians were determined. The nature of trigonal centers was discussed.
