Introduction. Thermal effect of fire on technical means is a common and serious problem. In this regard, it seems an urgent task to study physicochemical and thermal transformations in devices based on cadmium telluride during man-made or natural fires. For a number of materials, such studies have not been conducted, and the available results are insufficient or narrowly focused. The proposed article presents new data on the defect resistance and applicability of the material depending on the thermal effect. The work objective is to study the features of degradation under the influence of extreme temperatures to create new materials with specified properties.Materials and Methods. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) samples used in solar panels and detectors were studied. In the practical part of the work, the thermal effect on the sample of normal and extreme temperatures was evaluated, followed by the study of the material by transmission electron microscopy methods. The experiments simulated a zone of thermal impact of a fire. The computational and theoretical work consisted in improving the mathematical model of physical and chemical transformations and the evolution of defects under thermal influence up to 1092 °C. The mathematical model took into account the heat dose characteristic of uncontrolled combustion. The Maple software package was used to solve the equations.Results. The formation of defects in a CdTe sample at significantly different levels of thermal exposure was visualized. The lower limit was about 20 °С, the upper one was more than 600 °С. Transformations in CdTe control samples under the influence of temperatures up to 1092 °С with a step of 15 °С were worked out in detail. Point defects caused by the influence of temperature were presented as a factor of destruction of the material, and consequently, failures in the operation of the device. A system of equations was solved that takes into account a set of parameters: the frequency of vibrations of atoms in the lattice, temperature, concentrations of CdTe nodes, interstitial atoms and vacancies, migration and attachment of interstitial atoms and vacancies. The concentrations of vacancies and interstitial atoms in CdTe samples depending on thickness and temperature were graphically presented. The results of scientific research allowed us to assert that CdTe-based detectors worked relatively correctly only at a heat dose of up to 400 °С. In the ranges of 400-600 °С, the defective network of the material actively evolved, preventing destruction. However, a further increase in thermal exposure led to complete degradation of the equipment, which did not allow the use of cadmium telluride in extreme conditions, even for a short time.Discussion and Conclusion. The proposed improved model of physical and chemical transformations in CdTe-based devices in heat-affected areas will allow a more selective approach to the use of equipment. In addition, it is necessary to improve materials and increase their resistance to extreme temperatures.

Active development of high technologies in the aerospace industry requires consideration of the operation of devices and equipment under extreme conditions; it is important to study the degradation of materials during rapid heating and cooling. In this paper, based on the theoretical and experimental work performed, we consider the degradation of cadmium telluride detectors caused by the development and evolution of a network of point defects caused by pulsed exposure with a heat dose of about 1000 ºС for no more than 10 seconds, simulating an extreme situation of a short circuit near the detector or direct heating by light pulses. The study showed that the crystalline material quickly degrades under such extreme conditions due to the rapid evolution of the defect network. The phenomenological model of the formation and distribution of defects during short-term exposure of the detector to thermal radiation has been improved. Electron microscopic studies of samples exposed to pulsed infrared radiation showed the development of a dense defect network, vacancy and interstitial defects, clusters and other damage in all samples.

В статье на основе экспериментальных и теоретических исследований рассматриваются физико-химические превращения в теллуриде кадмия в условиях линейного и кратковременного нелинейного (импульсного) теплового воздействия, устанавливаются некоторые особенности работы приборов и устройств на основе теллурида кадмия внутри зон теплового воздействия при возгораниях и техногенных пожарах. На основе усовершенствованной математической модели приведены результаты образования и эволюции дефектной сети, приводящей под действием различных теплодоз процесса горения к деградации оборудования. The scientific article contains an experimental and theoretical study of cadmium telluride (CdTe) under conditions of linear and pulsed (nonlinear) thermal effects occurring in zones of man-made fires of varying intensity. The experimental part of the work is devoted to the study by transmission electron microscopy methods of the defective network of CdTe samples, which is a part of thin-film solar cells, universal infrared detectors and other devices exposed to heat from 100 to 800 °C. The theoretical part presents an improved mathematical model describing the evolution of chiselled defects under conditions of increasing temperature over time, both in linear form – an increase of 1 °C degree in 1 second, and in pulse form – a sharp increase to 100 °C and a subsequent drop to room temperature. Based on the results obtained, the presence of active physic-chemical transformations in the material was confirmed after receiving the appropriate heat dose, it was found that the temperature up to 100 °C, including with pulsed exposure, although it leads to an increase in the defective network, allows the equipment to remain operational. At temperatures above 600 °C, the degradation of the material leads to failures in the operation of devices and devices based on cadmium telluride, which makes their use limited and extremely inefficient in extreme conditions, where conventional semiconductor materials, such as germanium, are more suitable.
