Bulk crystals of binary wide-gap II-VI compounds (ZnSe, ZnS, ZnTe, CdSe, CdS, CdTe) and their mixtures have wide application in acousto- and optoelectronics; optics of IR-range; THz devices; manufacturing transfer, outlet and focusing optics of technological CO₂-lasers; production of electrooptical devices and semiconductor detectors of ionizing radiation. The paper describes a technology of vertical zone melting under inert gas pressure that allows growing A^IIB^VI crystals with properties suitable for multi-purpose technical applications of these materials.

Wide-gap semiconductors, II-VI compounds, crystal growth, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, CdS, CdSe, CdTe.
