Abstract

We used a slow positron beam to investigate the depth dependence of the positron-electron pair momentum distribution in ZnSe layers grown on a GaAs substrate. We report evidence that positrons annihilate in lattice in undoped ZnSe and at vacancies in heavily n-type ZnSe. It is also demonstrated that positrons in semi-insulating ZnSe are drifted to GaAs by fields of 1-3 kV/cm.
