</p><p>Selenium is found in metal sulfide ores, where it substitutes for sulfur.

<p>Selenium forms several <a href="Allotrope" class="mw-redirect" title="Allotrope">allotropes</a> that interconvert with <a href="Temperature" title="Temperature">temperature</a> changes, depending somewhat on the rate of temperature change. When prepared in chemical reactions, selenium is usually an <a href="Amorphous_solid" title="Amorphous solid">amorphous</a>, brick-red powder. When rapidly melted, it forms the black, vitreous form, usually sold commercially as beads.<sup id="cite_ref-house2008_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-house2008-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The structure of black selenium is irregular and complex and consists of <a href="Polymer" title="Polymer">polymeric</a> rings with up to 1000 atoms per ring. Black selenium is a brittle, lustrous solid that is slightly soluble in <a href="Carbon_disulfide" title="Carbon disulfide">CS<sub>2</sub></a>. Upon heating, it softens at 50 °C and converts to gray selenium at 180 °C; the transformation temperature is reduced by presence of <a href="Halogen" title="Halogen">halogens</a> and <a href="Amine" title="Amine">amines</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ge_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ge-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The red α, β, and γ forms are produced from solutions of black selenium by varying the evaporation rate of the solvent (usually CS<sub>2</sub>). They all have a relatively low, <a href="Monoclinic" class="mw-redirect" title="Monoclinic">monoclinic</a> crystal symmetry (<a href="Space_group" title="Space group">space group</a> 14) and contain nearly identical puckered <b>cyclooctaselenium</b> (Se<sub>8</sub>) rings as in <a href="Sulfur" title="Sulfur">sulfur</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The eight atoms of a ring are not equivalent (i.e. they are not mapped one onto another by any symmetry operation), and in fact in the γ-monoclinic form, half the rings are in one configuration (and its mirror image) and half in another.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The packing is most dense in the α form. In the Se<sub>8</sub> rings, the Se–Se distance varies depending on where the pair of atoms is in the ring, but the average is 233.5 pm, and the Se–Se–Se angle is on average 105.7°. Other selenium allotropes may contain Se<sub>6</sub> or Se<sub>7</sub> rings.<sup id="cite_ref-ge_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ge-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

The minimum distance between chains is 343.6 pm. Gray selenium is formed by mild heating of other allotropes, by slow cooling of molten selenium, or by condensing selenium vapor just below the melting point.

<ol><li>Amorphous selenium has a low melting point, high vapor pressure, and uniform structure. These three properties allow quick and easy deposition of large-area uniform films with a thickness up to 1 mm at a rate of 1–5 μm/min. Their uniformity and lack of grain boundaries, which are intrinsic to polycrystalline materials, improve the X-ray image quality. Meanwhile the large area is essential for scanning the human body or luggage items.</li>
<li>Selenium is less toxic than many compound semiconductors that contain arsenic or heavy metals such as mercury or lead.</li>
<li>The mobility in applied electric field is sufficiently high both for electrons and holes, so that in a typical 0.2 mm thick device, c. 98% of electrons and holes produced by X-rays are collected at the electrodes without being trapped by various defects.
