“…Growth of homogeneous crystals of most of II-VI solid solutions poses a problem due to a significant difference in vapour pressure of the binary components what leads to strong segregation in the grown crystals [8]. The first successful experiments on vapour growth of large homogeneous II-VI single crystals of (Zn, Cd)Se, (Zn, Cd)S, Zn(Se, Te), Zn(S, Te), and Cd(S, Te) were performed by contact-free growth method using polycrystalline binary compounds as the source materials [9]. In this paper, a further development of the contact-free growth method to obtain ternary and doped single crystals of substrate quality is presented.…”
