· Zn0.55Hg0.45Se

Zn0.55Hg0.45Se is a ternary II-VI semiconductor alloy combining zinc, mercury, and selenium in a zinc-blende crystal structure. This material is primarily investigated for infrared (IR) optoelectronic applications, where the mercury content enables bandgap tuning into the mid- to long-wave infrared spectrum compared to binary ZnSe. While not widely deployed in high-volume production, Zn-Hg-Se alloys remain relevant in research and specialized defense/sensing contexts where temperature-tunable IR detection and emission are critical.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
