Evaporation-condensation driven in a closed system by a small temperature difference has demonstrated its ability to deliver semiconducting IV-VI and II-VI solid solution crystals of highest compositional uniformity. Geometrical aspects of solution component distribution emerging in the crystals grown in the near equilibrium evaporation/condensation systems are considered in this paper. The conclusion is drawn that no increase in the range of compositional variations with increase in the crystal size is to be anticipated.
