“…In the past, the diluted magnetic semiconductors Cd1-x-yMnxZnyTe attracted attention of researchers due to their magneto-optical properties, the band-gap width, Faraday rotation [2,3] and ferromagnetism in Cd1-yMn0.35ZnyTe single crystals [4]. Until now CMZT crystals were grown by a VB method [1][2][3] and the temperature-gradient solution method [4]. However, in these studies, no information was available regarding the liquidus-solidus temperatures in the composition range for the Cd1-x-yMnxZnyTe solid solutions [2][3][4] beyond a diagram for the Cd1-x-yMnxZnyTe pseudoternary alloys [1] showing the concentration dependencies for constant lattice parameters.…”

The correlation between Cd0.90-xMnxZn0.10Te (CMZT) melt state and structural properties of the crystals, grown by vertical Bridgman method, was investigated. The Cd0.9-xMnxZn0.1Te crystals with various Mn compositions (x = 0.1 and 0.2) were grown by a two-step method from high-purity elemental components. We have conducted a series of crystal growth runs with different degrees of melt superheating over the alloy's melting temperature. We obtained ingots with various crystalline structures and properties. It was concluded that the best crystals were grown from the melt with a thermal gradient of about 5 °C/cm during growth process. We have found that the band-gap increases (from 1.67 eV at x=0.1 to 1.79 eV at x=0.2) with Mn content.
