Abstract
Cd1-xMgxSe crystals for 0 < x < 0.55 have been grown by the high-pressure B ridgman method. Bulk chemical analysis of crystals was performed using an e mission spectrometer. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) with simultaneous a rgon ion sputtering has been used to monitor the changes of concentrations of particular elements in the sub-surface region of the samples. Comparison of AES and photoluminescence spectra allowed us to make conclusions concer ning the changes of Cd, Mg and Se concentrations in the uppermost layers of l:he Cd1-xMgxSe alloys.
