Abstract

The structural state of the cubic Zn0.999Fe0.001S single crystal grown by the chemical transport method has been investigated using thermal neutron diffraction at 300 K for the first time. It has been found that the diffraction patterns of the crystal contain diffuse scattering regions with wave vectors q = 0 and \(q = (\bar 1/3, 1/3 , 0)2\pi /a\). The experimental results have been discussed in the context of the available information on neutron diffraction in the Zn0.999Fe0.001Se compound. It has been shown that the effects of diffuse scattering are caused by local shear deformations of the metastable cubic lattice of the compound under investigation.
