Compensation and trapping in large bandgap semiconductors: Tuning of the defect system in CdZnTe

Monocrystalline Cd0.2Zn0.8Te solid solution obtained by self‐selecting vapour growth

“…Excellent compositional uniformity was observed as well. To our knowledge, no comparable results are reported for this solid solution.There are numerous requirements concerning material properties of (Cd,Zn)Te bulk crystals for utilitarian goals -in particular for X-ray and γ-ray detectors [1-5] with specific needs related to construction of small and large volume detector arrays -from 3×4×6 to 17×17×12 mm 3 -[6], and the crystal growth work is supported by a range of analytical studies [7][8][9][10][11]. Basic for commercial production are different techniques of liquid-solid crystallisation.…”
