Zn0.01Cd0.99Se

Zn₀.₀₁Cd₀.₉₉Se is a cadmium selenide-based II-VI semiconductor alloy with minimal zinc doping, belonging to the family of direct-bandgap materials used in optoelectronic devices. This composition is primarily of research and developmental interest for tuning the bandgap energy of cadmium selenide; the zinc incorporation allows fine control of electronic and optical properties relative to pure CdSe. Applications are concentrated in photonic and quantum-confined systems where bandgap engineering is critical, though this specific composition remains largely experimental rather than established in high-volume production.
