Zn₀.₆₅Hg₀.₃₅Se is a II–VI semiconductor alloy combining zinc, mercury, and selenium, belonging to the cadmium mercury telluride (CMT) family of narrow-bandgap semiconductors. This material is primarily investigated for infrared detection and thermal imaging applications, where its tunable bandgap—controlled by mercury content—enables sensitivity in the mid-infrared to long-wavelength infrared spectrum. The mercury-zinc-selenium composition represents a research-focused variant of established CMT technology, offering potential advantages in cost or performance for specialized sensing systems compared to pure mercury cadmium telluride alternatives.
