Growth of zinc sulfide by iodine transport

Chemical vapor transport of zinc sulfide

“…In the literature, it is not unusual to find considerable discrepancies and variations between experimental and theoretical transport rates, very often attenuated by a logarithmic presentation [21,23,25,50,52,57]. Convincing explanations have been given in a few cases.…”

“…Consequently, also the partial pressures of the other species are calculated from Eqs. (8), (10), (13), (21), and (22).…”

“…In several cases, the theoretical transport rate including the convection regime is given in comparison with experimental data as a function of the total pressure [28,30]. From a practical point of view, it is advantageous if the transport rate of ZnS is calculated as well as measured as a function of the accessible iodine concentration [19,21,24,25], as has been done for other compounds, too [49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

“…Other transport agents have been used rarely [20,34,35]. Several authors have provided quantitative descriptions of the transport rate of ZnS [19,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Fundamental theoretical work on CVT in general and overviews are offered in Refs.…”

“…Especially vapor phase transport with iodine as the transport agent has been the preferred classical method for growing ZnS [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and also other II-VI compounds, e.g. [29][30][31][32][33].…”
