Abstract

X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) technique was employed to study local electronic and structural features of Mn ions incorporated in Cd0.98Mn0.02Te0.97Se0.03. XAFS measurements performed at Mn K edge revealed that manganese Mn(II) ions are well incorporated into the host CdTe lattice (cubic zinc-blende structure type) and their immediate surrounding is found to be composed exclusively of Te atoms. The observed preference of Mn ions distribution around Te opposes earlier observations on the similar systems, where preferential Mn-Se over Mn-Te paring was found.
