Abstract
Crystals of CuInSe2-based solid solutions in the CuInSe2-2MnSe system have been grown by a two-zone process. The solid-solution series has been shown to exist up to 30 mol % 2MnSe. The thermal expansion of the (CuInSe2)1 − x · (2MnSe) x crystals has been studied by dilatometry, and the results have been used to evaluate their thermal expansion coefficients. The temperature dependences of the relative length change and thermal expansion coefficient have anomalies due to a chalcopyrite ai sphalerite phase transformation.
