Abstract

The results of studying the impurity heat capacity of Zn1−x M xSe (M = Cr2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, Mn2+) solid solutions in the temperature range 1.8–20.0 K are presented. A heat-capacity method is described and applied for the measurement of the intracenter-transition energy in these systems. The role of the Jahn-Teller effect in the formation of low-energy excited states of 3d ions in ZnSe is discussed.
