摘要
The high-pressure phase transitions in II-VI semiconductors (HgTe, HgSe, HgS, HgO, CdTe, CdSe, CdS, ZnTe, ZnSe, ZnS, ZnO) are analyzed in light of recent findings. A contribution is emphasized of the thermoelectric power (Seebeck effect) technique to registration of new electronic phases and to prediction of their related structural modifications. A novel thermopower study of ZnX (X-Te, Se, S) revealed a difference between the high-pressure NaCl phases of ZnSe and ZnS and the orthorhombic Cmcm phase of ZnTe. Mechanisms of the pressure-induced transitions in ZnX and other II-VI compounds are discussed. (C) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
