Abstract

A detailed neutronographic study of the bulk ZnSe crystals doped with vanadium up to the content commensurate with the solubility limit in a semiconductor matrix has been carried out for the first time at room temperature. The data that characterize nonuniformly-deformed states based on the cubic structural modification of the II–VI compounds are obtained. A simplified analysis of the broadening patterns of the diffraction profiles of main Bragg reflexes of the studied crystals shows that the resulting deformation covers macroscopic volumes, and the distribution of vanadium ions in the given cases may significantly deviate from the uniform distribution over volume. Relative to the initial cubic lattice, dominating trends towards symmetry changes preceding the phase stratification in the ZnSe crystals heavily doped with vanadium are revealed.
