Deep Level Studies in Zn$\text{}_{1-x}$Mg$\text{}_{x}$Se Layers Grown by MBE

The deep levels present in semiconducting Zn$\text{}_{1-x}$Mg$\text{}_{x}$Se (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) were investigated by means of deep level transient spectroscopy, photocapacitance transient and thermally stimulated depolarization. The thermal activation energy levels estimated from the deep level transient spectroscopy measurements are: E$\text{}_{T1}$=0.28 eV and E$\text{}_{T2}$=0.56 eV. For the Zn$\text{}_{1-x}$Mg$\text{}_{x}$Se epilayers thermally stimulated depolarization curves consist of four overlapping peaks: 227.4 K, 243.6 K, 265.7 K, and 285.0 K.
