Abstract

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is shown to increase the Young's modulus and transmittance of polycrystalline zinc sulfide produced by chemical vapor deposition. Both effects are associated with the decrease in the relative volume of nonequilibrium crystallite boundaries containing dangling bonds, which are responsible for the formation of bound surface charges, leading to interfacial polarization. The secondary recrystallization induced by HIP leads to the formation of thin, equilibrium grain boundaries.
