“…It is known [5] that ZnSe is a compound with tetrahedral atomic coordination, which may have the structure of sphalerite (S) or/and wurtzite (W). The type of structure for ZnSe is determined by many factors: crystallometric stability criterion [5] and degree of ionicity [6], deviations from stoichiometry [7] and equilibrium crystallization conditions [8], and the doping of controlled impurities [9,10]. It is known [11] that during the growth of undoped ZnSe crystals from the melt a wurtzite-sphalerite (WS) phase transition proceeds, which temperature is 1693 K at heating and 1683 K at cooling.…”

In this work the samples of ZnSe zinc selenide crystal grown from the melt by Bridgman method from high-purity (chemical and radio) raw materials were studied for further use in experiments on the search for neutrinoless double beta decay. The microstructure of the test samples was studied. Chemical selective etching, first of all, has allowed to determine the nature of distribution and sizes of area twinning, as well as the etch pits along twins boundaries. It is shown the figures found by chemical etching are the dislocation exits to the studied crystal surface. The dislocation density was estimated by counting the dislocation etch pits on the plane perpendicular to the growth direction and was 104 cm-2. As a rule, thermophysical conditions of ZnSe crystal growth, as well as high concentration of foreign inclusions and impurities in the crystal significantly affect the formation of twins and growth dislocations and are the cause of the optical, electrical, and mechanical heterogeneity of the material. The optical and electrical characteristics of the samples were measured. The absorption bands observed in the optical transmission spectra of the visible and IR ranges gave important information about the presence of local defects and impurities in the crystal, namely in 470÷550 nm and 580÷650 nm regions – absorption by point defects and in 3÷15 μm region – Fe2+, CSe and CSe2 absorption. The total transmission level in the visible range reached 60 %, which is lower than the theoretical one and due to scattering by defects. The phonon thermal conductivity of ZnSe sample was measured in the temperature range 5÷298 K. Based on the approximation of obtained temperature dependences of the thermal conductivity, it was shown that the phonon mean free path at low temperatures is comparable with the distance between twins’ boundaries in the sample.

“…This feature is characteristic for undoped ZnSe crystals, which can crystallize into the wurtzite (W) or sphalerite (S) structure depending on specific conditions of their preparation [1]. ZnSe crystals grown from the melt normally have the sphalerite structure.…”
