ceramic

· JVASP-123726· ZnSe2

ZnSe₂ is a binary ceramic compound belonging to the zinc chalcogenide family, combining zinc with selenium in a stoichiometric ratio. While less common than its monoselenide counterpart (ZnSe), this material is primarily investigated in optoelectronic and photonic research contexts for potential applications requiring wide bandgap semiconducting ceramics with specific electronic properties. The material represents an experimental composition within a material class traditionally used for infrared optics and specialized semiconductor applications where zinc chalcogenides offer advantages in transparency and optical performance.
