Crystal Growth and Characterization of Detector Grade (Cd,Zn)Te Crystals

Investigation of crystal growth of 50 mm CZT using SiC pedestal and pBN crucible

“…The FF region does not appear to be polycrystalline in nature, as has been observed by other investigators using different pedestal geometries for the bulk growth of CZT [9][10][11][12]. However, near the conical-cylindrical transition, new grains do appear to nucleate.…”

Effect of superheating and fast cooling on Te inclusions of Cd0.9Zn0.1Te:In crystals grown by vertical gradient freezing

“…2 are two different thermal ramps applied to Ingot A and Ingots B and C. In the first ramp, the temperature of the melt is increased to 26 1C over the melting point of CZT (T m ¼1104 1C). In the second ramp, this temperature is increased to þ56 1C over the melting point of CZT to push the reaction further, and break apart secondary phases in the melt [17].…”

Relationship between the cathodoluminescence emission and resistivity in In doped CdZnTe crystals

“…The band at 1.4 eV, often referred as band A, is related to complex defects involving Cd vacancies and impurities. 12 Gaussian deconvolution of this band shows that at least, four emissions are involved with some differences between sample 2 and sample 1. In sample 1, a broader band is observed.…”
