· Zn0.8Hg0.2Se

Zn₀.₈Hg₀.₂Se is a mercury-cadmium-free II-VI semiconductor alloy combining zinc selenide with mercury selenide, designed as a tunable infrared detector material. This compound is primarily investigated in research and specialized optoelectronic applications where its bandgap can be engineered for mid- to long-wave infrared sensing without the environmental and toxicity concerns of traditional HgCdTe alloys. The mercury-zinc-selenium system offers potential advantages in nuclear medicine imaging, thermal surveillance, and Earth observation where regulated or environmentally compliant infrared detection is required.

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.
