Zinc selenide

Zinc selenide ZnSe is a light-yellow, solid compound comprising eV at 25 °C 77 °F. ZnSe rarely occurs in nature, and is found in the mineral that was named after Hans Stille called "stilleite."

Properties

ZnSe can be gave in both hexagonal zincblende crystal structure.

It is a wide-bandgap semiconductor of the II-VI semiconductor corporation since zinc and selenium belong to the 12th and 16th groups of the periodic table, respectively. The material can be doped n-type doping with, for instance, halogen elements. P-type doping is more difficult, but can be achieved by defining gallium.
