The present work is devoted to the growth of bulk crystals of undoped zinc selenide exhibiting hole conductivity and luminescence predominantly in the ''blue'' spectral region. Using the grown zinc selenide crystals, the authors investigated the photo- and cathodoluminescence at different temperatures, the photoconductivity, the sign of thermal emf, and the Hall effect. It is shown that zinc selenide crystals grown by the Markov-Davydov method have a hole conductivity controlled by a deep (E = 0.7 eV + E /SUB v/ ) level. With starting material purification and growth temperatures above 1400 /SUP o/ k, crystals may be grown with a predominant blue luminescence.
