Luminescence properties of ZnSe single crystals co-doped with Fe and Cr by K. Lamonova, A. Prokhorov, M. Schmidbauer, A. Kwasniewski, Yu Kazarinov, M. Konuhova, A. Platonenko, Z. Remeš, K. Ridzoňová, M. Buryi

“…Analysis of the VIS and near-IR photoluminescence spectra, based on the modified crystal field theory and DFT calculations has shown that Fe and Cr exist in two charge states (+2/+3) and can be located in both tetrahedral and octahedral positions. In the blue light region, quantum dots (QDs) appear. These represent clusters of three Cr-containing octahedral complexes accompanied by Zn vacancies, anticipating the formation of spinel ZnCr2Se4 inclusions in the host chalcogenide ZnSe matrix.…”
