Abstract

We have performed the first extended x-ray absorption fine structure investigation of the local environment around dilute copper impurities diffused into the II-VI semiconductor ZnSe. An average first nearest neighbor distance of 2.32±0.06 Å is obtained. Our results indicate a rather large distortion of the local environment surrounding the copper impurities and/or displacement of these impurity atoms from simple substitutional sites (Cu Zn) and high symmetry interstitial sites (CuI).
