Strain induced spin-splitting is observed and characterized using pump-probe Kerr rotation spectroscopy in n-ZnSe epilayers grown on GaAs substrates. The spin-splitting energies are mapped out as a function of pump-probe separation, applied voltage, and temperature in a series of samples of varying epilayer thicknesses and compressive strain arising from epilayer-substrate lattice mismatch. The strain is independently quantified using photoluminescence and x-ray diffraction measurements. We observe that the magnitude of the spin splitting increases with applied voltage and temperature, and is highly crystal direction dependent, vanishing along [1 1-bar 0].
