We measure zero-field resistivity and magnetoresistance of multiwalled carbon nanotube yarns (CNTYs). The CNTYs are drawn from superaligned multiwalled carbon nanotube arrays synthesized by the low-pressure chemical vapour deposition method. The zero-field resistivity shows a logarithmic decrease from 2 K to 300 K. In the presence of a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the yarn axis, a pronounced negative magnetoresistance is observed. A magnetoresistance ratio of 22% is obtained. These behaviours can be explained by the weak localization effect.
CdMnTe is one of the key materials for room temperature X-ray and gamma-ray detectors on Environmental Analysis and Monitoring. In this paper, the homogeneous Cd1-xMnxTe (x = 0.1) single crystal ingot was grown by the vertical Bridgman method. The compositional analysis was carried out by SEM/EDS. The Te inclusions were revealed by the IR transmission spectra. In dopant distribution was determined by ICP-AES measurement. The resistivity of CdMnTe was cha-racterized by I-V method. It was found that the segregation coefficient of Mn was 0.97. In dopant contents within 3 to 21 ppm of the ingot were found. The Te inclusions were mainly 8.2-28.3m in size and 1×105-1.5×107cm-3in concentration. I–V measurement reveals that sputtered Au film can form good ohmic contact and all the slices have the resistivity within 107 to 109Ωcm.
CdZnTe (CZT) crystals with a diameter of 52 mm was grown using low pressure Bridgman method and were indium-doped under Te-rich conditions. Results showed the Te concentration was almost the same in different part of the as-grown ingot. Through IR transmission, Te inclusion with regular triangular or circular shapes could be observed, and the size of Te inclusion was around 7 µm and the concentration was 1.5 105 cm-3 for the CZT in the middle part of the ingot. I-V characteristic showed a good linear behavior with a resistivity of ~1010 Ω•cm.
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.
