Abstract

We have observed chemical ordering in Zn1−xFexSe (x≊0.5) epilayers as well as in nominal (ZnSe/FeSe) superlattices along the [001] growth direction and the [110] direction using transmission electron microscopy. The ordered structure consists of alternating ZnSe and FeSe layers along the [001] and [110] directions. In nominal (ZnSe/FeSe) superlattices grown on (001) GaAs substrates, strain-induced interdiffusion between the layers takes place followed by ordering of the resultant Zn1−xFexSe alloys. Computer simulated images for a Zn0.5Fe0.5Se compound were obtained and compared with experimental images. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of ordering in a II-VI alloy.
