Elastic and elasto-optic properties of Zn1-xBexSe mixed crystals by Brillouin scattering method

Abstract

In this paper we report experimental results concerning the elastic and elastooptic properties of Zn1-xBexSe mixed crystals grown by high pressure Bridgman technique. Using Brillouin scattering method some of the elastic and elastooptic constants of Zn1-xBexSe crystals with different Be content have been determined at room temperature. It has been revealed that the elastic and elastooptic properties strongly depend on the content of Be.
