Abstract
ZnSe thin films were deposited by pulsed laser ablation on quartz substrate. The films were investigated by different characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, Raman microspectroscopy, absorption, reflectivity, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The XRD analysis showed the formation of cubic phase polycrystalline films. The Raman spectra confirmed the formation of ZnSe by the presence of TO and LO peaks at 202 cm-1 and 252 cm-1, respectively. The analysis of absorption and reflectivity measurements permits evaluation of the band gap and excitonic energy at low temperature and the temperature dependence of the energy gap. The photoluminescence measurements indicated the possibility of obtaining intrinsic band-band radiative emission up to room temperature.
