Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Detection of Lattice Distortion in ${Mn}^{+ +}$ -Doped II-VI Compounds

Kikuchi and Azarbayejani explained the differences in the crystalline field parameter

a

and the hyperfine parameter

A

for

{Mn}^{+ +}

-doped ZnTe and CdTe on the basis of a model which assumed lattice distortions caused by the different ionic radii of

{Zn}^{+ +}

{Mn}^{+ +}

, and

{Cd}^{+ +}

. Measurements are reported for Mn-doped ZnSe and CdSe which are in agreement with the model. A comparison of the paramagnetic data for

{Mn}^{+ +}

in the zinc and cadmium compounds of tellurium, selenium, and sulfur gives additional confirmation of the model.
