Cadmium Zinc Telluride Selenide (CdZnTeSe or CZTS)has shown high crystal quality for room-temperature gamma ray and X-ray detection applications compared to Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe or CZT) [1,2]. Current applications of CZT include medical imaging, homeland security, and X-ray and gamma ray astronomy [3]. CZST has similar potential applications
