Structural, elastic, and thermodynamic properties of ZnSexTe1−x: A first-principles study

Investigation of the Substituting Effect of Se on the Physical Properties and Performances of Cd〖Se〗_x 〖Te〗_(1-x)and Zn〖Se〗_x 〖Te〗_(1-x) Materials for Semiconductor Radiation Detectors

“…Also, they were studied for measurements of their reflectivity (RF), photoconductivity (PC), photoluminescence (PL) where it was found that the band gap-energy presents a minimum value at a selected composition (x = 0.65) [11], their bandgap bowing [6], the optical characterization, and application-oriented studies of ZnSe x Te 1−x ternary alloy nanowires [12]. Besides, some theoretical searchers have been carried out in the framework of the DFT approach to determine different physical properties of both CdSe x Te 1−x [13][14][15] and ZnSe x Te 1−x [16,17] ternary alloys. On the other hand, semiconductor radiation detectors are widely used in several areas including nuclear physics, X-ray and gamma ray astronomy, and nuclear medicine.…”

The structural, elastic, and electronic properties of Zr x Nb 1− x C alloys from first principle calculations

“…[12] ZnSe x Te 1−x , with a tuned fundamental band gaps by changing the compositions of the concerned element, is more potential in the application of optoelectronic devices than ZnSe and ZnTe. [13] It is believable to obtain a material with preferable properties by alloying ZrC and NbC which are in the same structure, with close lattice parameters [14] and similar physical properties. [6,8] Holleck [11] and Jhi [15] have evaluated that the microhardness of mixed ZrC and NbC was larger than that of each of the compositions.…”
