Electrochemical growth of CdZnTe thin films

Templated growth of cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) nanowires using pulsed-potentials in hot non-aqueous solution

“…Similar results were reported for lithium ions in PC [26]. Recently Bansal and Rajaram [30] reported that addition of acetonitrile solution to aqueous salt solution of CZT resulted in merger of the reduction current peaks of Te, Cd and Zn species. In this study, the reduction potentials of Cd and Zn were only about 100 mV apart instead of the reported 360 mV difference in aqueous solutions for similar concentrations.…”

Air-stable Cd0.23Zn0.77Te nanostructure thin films

“…The choice of this compound for X-ray and gamma ray detection is due to its high quantum efficiency and very low leakage current at range of a few nA which in turn allows room temperature operation of the detectors [3]. In addition, CdZnTe compounds have different applications in biomedical uses, industrial imaging and radiation monitoring [4].…”

“…Several physical and chemical techniques have been used to synthesize CdZnTe thin films such as sputtering [5], molecular beam epitaxy [6,9,10], vacuum evaporation [11][12][13], co-evaporation [14], metal-organic chemical vapor deposition [15,16], multilayer method [17], hot-wall evaporation technique [18], electrodeposition [3,19], pulse plating technique [20] and radio frequency magnetron sputtering [21][22][23].…”

High Density Nano-Electrode Array for Radiation Detection

“…Similar results were reported for lithium ions in PC 82 . Recently Bansal et al 35 reported that addition of acetonitrile solution to aqueous salt solution of CZT resulted in the reduction potentials to come closer for Cd, Zn and Te species. In this study the reduction potentials of Cd and Zn were only 100mV apart instead of the reported 360mV.…”
