| The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique has been used to investigate the first shell coordination in zinc-blende quaternary Cd1-xMnxTe1-ySey (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15; 0.0 ≤ y ≤ 0.20) alloys. The experimental data have been collected with the use of synchrotron radiation. All the nearest-neighbour distances have been found as linearly dependent on Se and Mn concentration. For each composition a consistent deviation from full random distribution of Mn atoms around Se and Te atoms was observed. Possible reasons of preferential Mn-Se over Mn-Te pairing were discussed. |
