Cadmium mercury telluride crystals grown in space

Bulk Crystal Growth Under Microgravity Conditions

“…Some experiments concerned several samples and sometimes two or more flights were necessary: Ang andLacy, 1979 ASTP, 1975 AlSb 10 Better homogeneity obtained in space (on ground: sedimentation is suspected). Averyanov et al, 1999Salyut-6, 1979 HgCdTe 8 0.19…”

“…EPD lower than on earth and than in unencapsulated sample. Averyanov et al, 1999Salyut-6, 1981 HgCdTe 10 0.28…”
