Polarization-dependent XAFS measurements of a series of MnSe/ZnTe superlattices are presented. The results are consistent with a small interdiffusion at the interfaces, accompanied by an elastic distortion of the bond angles. This is in contrast to earlier measurements of other II-VI semiconductor superlattices. In addition, the Zn-Se bond expands by 0.027_+0.012~ to accommodate the strain in the superlattice.
