Abstract
This paper examines the effect of diffusion doping with divalent Fe ions in different atmospheres on the microstructure of polycrystalline CVD ZnSe. The activation energy for the recrystallization process in Fe2+:ZnSe is determined in the temperature range 900–1150°C, and the mechanisms underlying the effect of the dopant on grain growth in Fe2+:ZnSe are discussed.
