摘要
Optically detected EPR studies of zinc-vacancy-zinc-interstitial Frenkel pairs produced by 2.5 MeV electron irradiation at 4.2 K in ZnSe reveal transformations between pairs of differing separations induced by optical excitation at cryogenic temperatures. The interstitial is identified as the mobile constituent by directly observing its conversion between T-d sites surrounded by four Se atoms and those surrounded by four Zn atoms. The interstitials, therefore, have been caught in the act of a single recombination-enhanced diffusion half jump, uniquely revealing the exact path taken in the one-jump diffusion process.
