In the light of very recent data, our previous study gives strong evidence that the dominant postrange defects in ion-implanted ZnTe are not zinc interstitials (Zn/sub i/). The prior Grenoble work is discussed with respect to current knowledge concerning shallow acceptors in ZnTe and the insensitivity of radiotracer measurements to vacancy introduction. It is concluded that the Grenoble results do not conflict with ours in that they provide no direct evidence that Zn/sub i/ dominate the postrange damage in ZnTe.
