| We report on growth by molecular beam epitaxy of thick layers of MnTe with zinc blende structure. Films as thick as 5.6 µm were obtained. Characterization by X-ray diffraction proved their good structural quality. We determined the lattice constant and its temperature dependence. Broad luminescence due to internal Mn2+- transitions was observed. It showed an unexpected temperature dependence. |
