Abstract
The problem of obtaining crystalline ZnSe doped with d-elements for obtaining high-efficiency laser materials with characteristics in a wide IR range don’t possible successfully solved without reliable data on phase equilibrium and solubility of the components entering the system. The theoretical and experimental analysis of the three-component Zn—Se—Fe system for obtaining new fundamental information on phase using X-ray analysis (XRD) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was carried out. New experimental data of isothermal annealing in the ternary Zn—Se—Fe system at the temperatures 730 K (I, II), 814 K (III, IV), 1073 K (V), as well as information on Fe solubility in bi- and monovariant conditions by X-ray studies have shown the existence of the coexistence of the following phases: Fe3Zn10-Fe11Zn40-Zn-ZnSe (I), ZnSe-FeSe2-Fe7Se8 (II), ZnSe-Fe3Zn10-Fe (III), FeSe2-Fe7Se8-Se (IV), ZnSe-FeSe- Fe3Se4 (V), ZnSe-FeSe (VI) and confirmed the reliability of theoretical isothermal sections.
