Abstract

We use high pressure Raman scattering to investigate the structural stability and the pressure effects on the semiconductor-metal phase transition of Zn1−xBexSe (x = 0.112, 0.16 and 0.24) mixed crystals up to about 25 GPa. We find that introduction of Be in Zn site results in an increase in the semiconductor-metal phase transition pressure as compared to pure ZnSe. We also determine the mode Gruneisen parameters (γ) and find a decrease in the ratio of the mode Gruneisen parameter (γTO/γLO) values with increasing Be content suggesting an increased covalency in the system with Be incorporation.
