Abstract

Paramagnetic resonance measurements have been made for Ge and Pb in ZnSe at 77°K. Hyperfine structures (HFS) arising from Ge ⁷³ and from Pb ²⁰⁷, and superhyperfine structures (SHFS) arising from Se ⁷⁷ are observed. The large Se ⁷⁷ superhyperfine splittings show that the wave functions for the EPR centers are localized on the surrounding Se ^2- ions. This indicates that the resonances are due to holes trapped at the surrounding Se ^2- ions. The EPR spectra are photo-sensitive. The photo-response of the signals shows that the trap levels are located deep in the forbidden energy gap.
