Preparation and Characterization of Members of the System (Zn,SE)1-xGaPx.

Abstract Single crystals of members of the system (PZnSe) 1−x (GaP) x were grown by chemical vapor transport using iodine as the transport agent. The IR spectrum of (ZnSe) .905 (GaP) .095 is not appreciably changed from that of pure ZnSe; however, the hardness and stability towards oxidation are greatly enhanced.
