Mg1 Se1
semiconductor· Mg1 Se1
Magnesium selenide (MgSe) is a binary II-VI semiconductor compound combining magnesium and selenium, belonging to the wide-bandgap semiconductor family. This material is primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and photonic applications, where its direct bandgap and optical properties make it relevant for UV-to-infrared device development; however, it remains largely in the experimental phase compared to more mature alternatives like gallium nitride or zinc selenide. Engineers consider MgSe for specialized niche applications requiring wide-bandgap semiconductors, though practical device commercialization faces challenges related to crystal growth quality and material stability.
