The pseudo‐binary alloy system Mg x Zn 1 − x Te has been investigated for 0 = x ≤ 0.8 . Compositions containing less than 53 mole per cent (m/o) Mg have a cubic structure with expanded lattice spacings of ZnTe . For Mg concentrations of 0.53–0.80 m/o the alloys have a hexagonal structure with contracted lattice spacings of MgTe . The bandgaps, as determined by electron beam bombardment, vary linearly with composition within the crystalline structure.
