Fluorescence EXAFS Study of AlGaAs Doped with Se Donor Impurities

Abstract
We performed extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements on Al0.38Ga0.62As:Se in order to investigate the lattice relaxation accompanying the existence of the deep level. The local structure of Se donor impurities was observed by monitoring the Se Kαfluorescence yield. A small glancing angle arrangement was applied to suppress the effects of both Ga and As Kαfluorescence X-rays. The nearest-neighbor distances around Se were not influenced by the existence of the deep level.
