Single crystals of the magnetic semiconductor cadmium dichromium tetraselenide were grown by liquid- and vapor-liquid-transport methods, chemical vapor-transport reactions, and slowly cooling the solution of the substance in the melt. Cadmium chloride was tested as a solvent. We studied the crystallization of cadmium dichromium tetraselenide for two compositions of the molten solution which are optimal for producing the crystals. The experimental data on the crystallization of cadmium dichromium tetraselenide permitted production of CdCr/sub 2/Se/sub 4/ single crystals by heating the molten solution up to 740/sup 0/C, keeping it there for 3-4 h, followed by slow cooling. The crystals thus produced do not differ in quality from crystals grown by the traditional methods,and the duration of the technological cycle is substantially decreased.
