· Zn0.9Hg0.1Se

Zn₀.₉Hg₀.₁Se is a wide-bandgap II-VI semiconductor alloy formed by partial substitution of zinc with mercury in zinc selenide, creating a tunable electronic structure. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for infrared optoelectronics and photonic devices, where the mercury content shifts the bandgap energy to enable detection and emission in the mid-to-long-wavelength infrared region—a capability difficult to achieve with pure ZnSe alone. Engineers select this alloy family when conventional semiconductors cannot address specific wavelength requirements in thermal imaging, gas sensing, or space-based optical systems.

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.
