Abstract
Mercury selenide (HgSe) is a IIb–VIb semiconductor crystallizing in the zinc-blende structure. It forms solid solutions with many other IIb–VIb compounds. For example, alloying with ZnSe or CdSe results in a material with an energy gap that depends on Zn or Cd contents (see Sec. D21). This material may also be alloyed with MnSe or FeSe to form diluted magnetic semiconductors (see Sec. D23). HgSe films have also been successfully grown by MBE [1–3].
