Photoelectric properties of CdZnTe:In samples with distinctive defect distributions are investigated using various techniques. Samples cut from the head (T04) and tail (W02) regions of a crystal ingot show distinct differences in Te inclusion distribution. Obvious difference is not observed in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, UV-Vis-NIR transmittance spectra, and I-V measurements. However, carrier mobility of the tip sample is higher than that of the tail according to the laser beam induced current (LBIC) measurements. Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurement presents sharp emission peaks of D 0 X and A 0 X, and relatively large peak of D 0 X (or A 0 X) / D complex for T04, indicating a better crystalline quality. Thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectrum shows higher density of shallow point defects, i.e., Cd vacancies, In + Cd , etc., in W02 sample, which could be responsible for the deterioration of electron mobility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
