Abstract
50mm diameter ZnSe crystals have been grown from the melt by a vertical Bridgman technique at 100atm argon pressure in a graphite crucible. 3D impurities concentration and nonstoichiometry mappings of the grown crystals have been defined by ICP-MS and a direct physic-chemical method, correspondingly. Photoluminescence mapping of the analyzed crystal has been done. It was found out that along the crystal height the nonstoichiometry changed from Se excess over stoichiometrical composition in the cone (bottom) part to Zn excess in the tail (upper) part passing through the stoichiometrical composition in the cylindrical part of the crystal. Metal impurities concentrated in the upper part of the crystal. The gas-forming impurities (H, C, O, N, F) had stochastic distribution but Cl impurity concentrated in the crystal peripheral part (near the crucible walls). It was found out that the as-grown crystal had a single wide PL peal with maximum of 583nm. A proposal about complex structure luminescent center based on Cl dopant an overstoichiometric Se has been made.
