The luminescence of the semimagnetic semiconductor Zn1-xMnxSe

Abstract
Zn1-xMnxSe (0.0164T1 to 6A1) but also in the near infrared. The excitation spectra of the yellow and of the infrared band are compared at different concentrations x and different temperatures T. Both emission bands are connected by energy transfer. While the yellow emission is well described by a transition within the 3d shell of tetrahedrally coordinated Mn2+ the nature of the infrared emission is not yet clear.
