$$\hbox {ZnS}_{x}\hbox {Se}_{1-x}$$ single crystals with different S contents were examined. The grown by the modified Bridgman method. Thermal, optical, and electrical measurements for a solid solution of {ZnS}_{ x}\hbox are presented analyzed to determine influence composition on thermal diffusivity, resistivity, relative permittivity, energy gap. measurement was based wave method detection using mirage effect. For interpretation experimental data, model layered system adopted. results showed that diffusivity samples decreases an increase content $$x$$ . resistivity investigated measured constant voltage permittivity determined dielectric spectroscopy decreased increasing sulfur in ZnSe. Further, optical bandgap from photoluminescence spectra. Possible correlations between bandgap, properties studied. obtained clear dependence those parameters concentration sample.
