Abstract

The paper presents the extended results of structural investigations of Pb0.9Mn0.1Te, and Pb0.9Mn0.1Te systems doped with In (2 at.%) and Ga (4 at.%) by means of EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) technique. EXAFS measurements performed at Te–, Mn–, In– and Ga–K absorption edges at different temperatures are complemented with X-ray diffraction, flame absorption and X-ray fluorescence analysis. That way the complete information about elemental concentration; crystal structure; local environment around constitutive and impurity atoms (including their displacements from the regular lattice positions); local and long-range ordering; and the overall influence of do** on the host crystal structure is derived. The obtained results represent an important step towards understanding the structural aspects of do** of lead telluride-based semiconductors with Mn and group III elements and their connection to electronic and optical phenomena important for their applications.
