At atmospheric pressure, many of the II-VI semiconducting alloys are known to undergo a zinc-blende to wurtzite solid-solid transition. Experimental values for these transitions temperatures have only been reported for two alloys. We show here that chemical potentials for one of the components in a solid solution with the other can be used to estimate the transition temperature. The non-ideal behavior of the solvent component is addressed via an activity coefficient which is determined using the quasi-chemical model. The chemical potentials for each case, zinc-blende and wurtzite are then taken to be equal at the transition temperature. Predicted transition temperatures are reported here for ZnS, CdS, ZnSe, ZnTe, and CdSe. In the case of ZnS and CdS these values agree with the experimental. For ZnSe, ZnTe, and CdSe the values are above their respective melting points. This result suggests that there is no complete bulk transition below the melting point for these three alloys but calculations predict that the two phases are nearly isoenergetic.
