Comparison of Hg_0.6Cd_0.4Te LPE layer growth from Te-, Hg-, and HgTe-rich solutions

Polyassociative model of A2B6 semiconductor melt and p−T−x equilibria in Cd–Hg–Te system

“…In Figs. 7 and 8, together with the experimental data [6,12,22,24], the calculated liguidus for Cd-Hg-Te system for the different cross-sections of the phase diagram and at different temperatures in its enriched by tellurium part are presented. If we take into account the sufficient dispersion between experimental data of different authors, which is especially clearly seen in Fig.…”

Polyassociative thermodynamic model of A2B6 semiconductor melt and phase equilibria in Cd-Hg-Te system. p−T−x diagram of Cd-Hg-Te system

“…Low-temperature liquidus of the Cd-Hg-Te system for enriched with tellurium part of the diagram. , o , + experimental data [8] for temperatures 500, 550, 600 ºС, respectively; ×, ◊ -the data [10,15] for T = 500 ºС. 30-50 K. Such a situation doesn't allow hastening with critical conclusions about applicability of the polyassociative solution model to the description of a solidus line in the system, and demands more thorough examination of a question about applicability of the equilibrium analysis for the description of the experimental data obtained by LPE methods.…”
