Abstract

An X-ray fluorescence holography (XFH) measurement was performed at the beamline BL-3A in the Photon Factory to visualize the three-dimensional local atomic image around the Zn atoms in a diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn_0.4Mn_0.6Te. The nearest- and third-nearest-neighbor Te atoms were clearly visualized. The second-nearest-neighbor Zn or Mn atoms were, however, barely visible, although they could be seen in the reference ZnTe crystal. This result is similar to the previous Mn K_α XFH data, and may suggest a rigid Te sublattice and a highly distorted cation sublattice, which contradicts a structural model for a similar diluted magnetic semiconductor Cd_1-xMn_xTe by Balzarotti et al.
