Abstract

CdTexSe1-xsolid solutions with (x) ranging between zero and one were prepared by solid state diffusion under vacuum and their precise lattice constants and X-ray powder diffraction data were determined. It was found that alloys with 0≤x≤0.4 possess the hexagonal wurtzite structure while those with 0.5≤x≤1.0 have the cubic zincblende structure. The lattice parameters obeyed Vegard's law according to the following formulae

Extrapolated lattice constants were a = 6.066(6) Å for the cubic form of CdSe and a = 4.563(6) Å and c = 7.502 (10) Å for the hexagonal form of CdTe.
