The load dependence of the Vickers microhardness of the (001) plane of ZnSe crystals is studied in the load range from 5 to 160 g. From a comparison with literature data it is concluded that the microhardness of ZnSe is anisotropic according to H (001) ≈ H (111) > H (110). The indentation size effect of the (001) plane is less pronounced than that of the (110) plane. Proton implantation is found to increase the microhardness of ZnSe.
