We study the interaction of electron and nuclear spins in fluorine-doped ZnSe epilayers. Using the time-resolved optical pump-probe spectroscopy in the regime of resonant spin amplification we are able to resolve nuclear magnetic resonances (NMR) of ⁷⁷Se and ⁶⁷Zn isotopes with non-zero spin. The effective nuclear fields show a dispersive form of its strength around NMR as a function of magnetic field. In the RSA signal this leads a shift of the resonances of the electron spins. Dependences are measured as a function of external parameters, like: pump power, polarization modulation frequency and temperature. In a further experiment an external radio frequency field is applied to investigate the strength of the resulting nuclear field. Theoretical considerations support our findings.
