Several samples are etched out from their GaAs substrate and the properties of as-grown surfaces and etched surfaces are compared. The etched samples seem to be free of in-plane strain and to behave like bulk ZnSe. The free-exciton excited state (n = 2) is clearly observed in transmission, reflection and luminescence spectra. We also studied the thermal quenching of the photoluminescence in order to confirm the origin of some bound-exciton centres. %G English %L hal-00547275 %U https://hal.science/hal-00547275 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
