Abstract
Mercury cadmium telluride (Hg.sub.1-x Cd.sub.x Te) is formed from an atmosphere of mercury vapor maintained at a temperature of within about 1.degree. C. of a desired temperature which contacts a liquid cadmium-tellurium solution with or without mercury maintained at a temperature within about 1.degree. C. of a desired temperature. The resultant mercury-cadmium-tellurium solution then is cooled to solidification.
