Abstract:
Hall effect, electric conductivity and mobility of charge carriers in n-ZnSe single
crystals doped with Au are investigated in the temperature range from 77 to 300 K. Impurity distribution in the crystals was studied by a method of “layer-by-layer” etching of a sample surface. The model, which explains this distribution by a simultaneous diffusion of Zn and Au atoms during a long-term high-temperature annealing of as-grown crystals in Zn + Au melt, is proposed.
