Abstract: | Concentration dependences of the mid-IR kinetic of luminescence at 5E?5T2 transition in Fe:ZnSe and Fe:ZnS laser samples were studied in 14–300 K temperature ranges. Radiation lifetime in Fe:ZnSe samples measured using low doped samples with iron concentration 0.1×1018 cm?3 was estimated to be 57 μs. The magnetic susceptibility for higher doped (CFe=38 and 112×1018 cm?3) Fe:ZnSe samples was found to consist of a paramagnetic Curie–Weiss behavior arising from the weakly interacting Fe2+ ions and a diamagnetic ZnSe contribution plus a temperature-independent, field-dependent contribution possibly arising from very small amounts of aggregated Fe. |
