Abstract

Single crystals of antimony selenide were grown from melt by the Bridgman Stockbarger method. X-ray powder diffraction analysis was carried out to determine the lattice parameters of the grown samples.The morphology and chemical analysis of cleavage planes were investigated using SEM and EDAX. The microhardness studies were done by using a Vickers hardness tester. The correlation of energy gap and microhardness has also been investigated.
