<description xml:lang='en' descriptionType='Abstract'><p>Rare-earth elements are widely used as doping materials as they considerably change the semiconductor optical, electrical, magnetic and radiative properties. This work explores the influence of Gadolinium (Gd) as a dopant on the radiative, optical and magnetic properties of the Zinc Selenide (ZnSe). ZnSe single crystals were grown by the physical transport method and doped during the growth process using a GdSe source. A wide range of characterization equipment was employed to analyze the obtained ZnSe:Gd single crystals. Intracenter radiative transition of the Gd has not been detected. Gd ions activate the background impurities, causing radiative transitions from the conduction band to the Cu<sup>2+</sup>&nbsp;level and intracenter transitions within V<sup>3+</sup>, V<sup>2+</sup>&nbsp;and Cr<sup>2+</sup>&nbsp;ions. At the same time, the edge band intensity is dependent on the dopant concentration. Optical transmittance decreases, but the position of the fundamental absorption band is unchanged. Single crystals have a zinc blende crystal structure, and Gd ions do not form complexes with native defects or background impurities.&nbsp;</p></description>
