Abstract : ZnSe:Tb and ZnSe:(Mn,Tb) phosphors have been prepared by firing the samples in nitrogen gas atmosphere. Photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) of these phosphors have been studied. The emission of yellow and red bands has been interpreted in terms of different electronic transition. The voltage and frequency variation of EL brightness are in agreement with collision-excitation mechanism, i.e. Schottky barrier at the metal semiconductor interface.
