Using infrared and Raman spectroscopy, we have observed two local vibrational modes related to H bonded to N acceptors in ZnSe samples grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. We assign the new mode seen at 3194 cm[sup [minus]1] to a N---H stretching vibrational mode and tentatively assign the mode found at 783 cm[sup [minus]1] to a N---H wagging vibrational mode. Polarized Raman spectroscopy was used to determine that the symmetry of the defect complex is [ital C][sub 3 v], which implies that the H atom is in either a bonding or antibonding position.
