Zinc Selenide Powder is a yellow crystalline, insoluble in water, with good light transmittance and semiconductor properties, which can be used in many fields such as defense and military industry, battery manufacturing, photoelectric devices, optical coating and other important inorganic compound materials.
Characteristics
Chemical formula: ZnSe
Appearance: usually yellow crystalline powder
Density: about 5.27 – 5.42 g/cm³.
Melting point: about 1525°C
Solubility: insoluble in water, but soluble in strong bases and acids
Good light transmittance: It has good light transmittance in the visible and infrared light region, its light transmittance range is 0.5 – 15μm.
Low dispersion: Zinc selenide has a low dispersion compared to other infrared optical materials, which allows it to focus and transmit light better in optical systems.
Applications
Defense industry: infrared detection systems made of zinc selenide can be used in ground-based weaponry as well as missiles to help weapon systems detect, track and identify targets.
Battery manufacturing field: can be used in the manufacture of solar cells and aluminum ion batteries, etc., the use of its semiconductor properties to participate in the photoelectric conversion process of the battery, improve the performance of the battery.
Optoelectronic devices: Can be used in the manufacture of optical lenses, lasers and optical glass.
For example, in lasers, zinc selenide can be used as a gain medium or optical element for generating and transmitting lasers; in optical lenses and optical glass, it can improve the performance and imaging quality of optical systems.
Optical coating materials: Due to its good optical properties, it can be plated on the surface of other materials to improve the optical properties of the materials, such as increasing the reflectivity and decreasing the absorptivity. For example, zinc selenide is used in the surface coating of some optical instruments, eyeglass lenses, camera lenses and other products.
Infrared window materials: In infrared thermal imaging, infrared spectral analysis and other equipment, zinc selenide can be used as an infrared window material, allowing infrared light to pass through, while blocking other wavelengths of light and interference from the external environment.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
