Abstract

Neutronographic research (T=300 K) having been carried out on highly doped Zn0.9Ni0.1S, Zn0.95Fe0.05Se, Zn0.99V0.01Se cubic crystals of diluted magnetic semiconductors shows that unhomogeneously distorted nano volumes, of ellipsoidal forms emerged at small dopant content in initial lattice, oriented to crystallographic directions which depending on Jahn-Teller ions type, are transformed to two-types form, leading to loss of initial orientations having been ascribed by supplied describing statistics of investigated phenomena. The figure illustrates observed changes direct scheme build on processed data of diffuse contribution partitioning to scattering on Zn1-хVхSe crystals, when the longest axes of nano regions at small dopant content (х~0.001) lie previously along <111> directions (the small cell of the cube containing the unhomogeneity corresponds to the elementary cell of the ZnSe structure), the case of high level doping are assumed to be considered as damage degrees of crystallographic planes of initial lattice.Doping of small even amount of 3d- ions possessing non-spherical symmetry of their 3d- shells, producing the Jahn-Teller effect, results in strong structure destabilizing of АIIBVI semiconductors. By the present work the thermal neutron diffuse scattering effects on the vicinity of the intensive Bragg reflections of Zn0.9Ni0.1S, Zn0.95Fe0.05Se, Zn0.99V0.01Se volume cubic single crystals obtained on double matrices and belonged to diluted magnetic semiconductors are investigated at T=300 K in details. The neutronographic data rows of structure reflections scanned in tangential directions are analyzed on conceptions of the changes to the worse structure quality arising from local non-uniform damaging of the initial crystal lattice. It was shown that the fitting of the neutron diffuse scattering patterns obtained from single crystals of zinc chalcogenides heavily doped by 3d- impurity reflects the statistics, characteristics of which are assigned by polarization directions emerged from disordering shear atomic displacements. Taking into account long-range actions of “electronic”-type deformation produced by foreign 3d-ions in the semiconductor matrice, the presented data compared to neutronographic results obtained on the crystals of the some binary compounds at substantially small levels of doping allow to conclude that the crystallographic anisotropy of distorted nano volumes lengths , appeared at small amount of destabilizing impurity, is changed by polarization anisotropy created by distortions developed on increasing of the impurity amount. The fitting results of neutron diffuse scattering patterns obtained from zinc-chalcogenide crystals heavily doped by 3d- ions generating additional destructive affects in the initial instable real structure of “pure” binary semiconductors become characteristics of damage degree of crystallographic planes of initial lattice.
