Abstract

Cu(II) doped ZnSe nanoparticles were synthesized using molecular cluster precursors. The Cu(II) dopant had the effect of quenching the ZnSe band edge emission, yet only weak emission from Cu(II) centers was observed. An X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) experiment was performed on the Cu(II) doped ZnSe nanoparticles. It was determined that the Cu(II) occupies a tetrahedral site in the lattice in an environment similar to that of Cu in bulk Cu2Se, and is likely to have substituted for Zn(II) in the lattice.
