Crystal Growth and Characterization of the Solid Solution $(ZnSe)_{1-x}(CuMSe_2)_x$ (M-Al, Ga, or In)


Abstract

Single crystals of (ZnSe)1-x(CuMSe2)x (M=Al, Ga, or In) were grown by chemical vapor transport technique. Powdered polycrystalline samples of (ZnSe)1-x(CuMSe2)x (M=Al, Ga, or In) were also prepared by the direct combination of the elements. The chemical composition of these single crystals was determined by comparing their lattice parameters with those of the standard polycrystalline samples. The IR transmission range of single crystals of (ZnSe)1-x(CuMSe2)x (M=Al, Ga, or In) is slightly narrower than that observed for pure ZnSe. However, these materials still show good transmission in the long-wavelength IR range. The addition of small amounts of CuMSe2 (M=Al, Ga, or In) considerably increases the hardness of ZnSe.
