CAS 20601-83-6: Mercury selenide (HgSe)

Description: Mercury selenide (HgSe) is an inorganic compound characterized by its distinct properties and applications. It appears as a dark red to black solid and is known for its semiconducting behavior, making it valuable in various electronic applications, including infrared detectors and photovoltaic cells. HgSe has a high melting point and exhibits a crystalline structure, typically forming in the cubic or hexagonal system. The compound is insoluble in water but can dissolve in acids, which is important for its handling and processing. Due to the presence of mercury, HgSe is toxic, necessitating careful management to prevent exposure. Its bandgap energy allows it to absorb infrared radiation, which is exploited in optoelectronic devices. Additionally, mercury selenide can be synthesized through various methods, including chemical vapor deposition and solid-state reactions. Overall, HgSe is a significant material in the field of materials science and electronics, but its toxicity requires stringent safety measures during its use and disposal.
