Abstract

ZnSxSe1−x bulk crystals were grown by the Bridgman–Stockbarger method. The transmittance of different samples in the range from 67% to 56% at la = 1100 nm (for 4-mm samples) indicates a high optical quality of the crystals. No new states were revealed at the sulfur incorporation, and the band gap depends on the composition. The optical band gap of ZnSxSe1−x bulk crystals varies from 2.59 to 2.78 eV for direct transitions and from 2.49 to 2.70 eV for indirect transitions.
