Zn0.75Cd0.25Se

Zn0.75Cd0.25Se is a II-VI semiconductor alloy combining zinc selenide and cadmium selenide in a 3:1 ratio. This mixed-cation compound belongs to the cadmium chalcogenide family and is primarily of research and specialized optoelectronic interest, offering tunable bandgap and emission properties between its binary parent materials. The alloy is investigated for photonic and radiation detection applications where the intermediate composition provides advantages over single-element compounds—particularly in blue-to-green light emission and high-energy particle detection systems—though it remains less common in high-volume production compared to more established semiconductors like GaN or InGaAs.
