CdTe And CdTe : Hg alloys crystal growth using stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric zone passing techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 Some aspects of the thermodynamic state of CdTe crystals grown by different zone passing techniques (sealed ingot zone refining technique and THM in tellurium solvent) are considered with regard to the general objective of getting high resistivity crystals. A vapour growth technique, called sublimation THM, which reduces several drawbacks of classical THM using a tellurium solvent, is developed. The growth of semi-insulating Cd0, 9Hg0, 1Te crystals, with the aim of increasing the average atomic number of the material, is presented. REVUE DE PHYSIQUE APPLIQUÉE TOME 12, FÉVRIER 1977, PAGE

A new approach to crystal growth of Hg 1 _ ~ Cd ~ Teby the travelling heater method ( THM )
Crystal growth by the travelling heater method (THM) is reported using a source material preparation process that is different from all methods used before. Non-stoichiometric (Hg,Cd)Te melts were homogenized and quenched to prevent macroscopic segregation effects. Inclusions of excess Te were removed during a first THM pass, resulting in stoichiometric solid alloys with a shift of the mole fra...
متن کاملNonstoichiometric composition shift in physical vapor deposition of CdTe thin films
While it is being debated whether Cd vacancy is an effective p-dopant in CdTe, and whether CdTe thin film in solar energy application should be Cd-deficient or Cd-rich, in the theory of CdTe physical vapor deposition (PVD) it has been assumed that both the source material and the thin film product is stoichiometric. To remediate the lack of effective theory, a new PVD model for CdTe photovoltai...
متن کاملThermoelectric properties of the Heusler-type off- stoichiometric Fe2V1+xAl1-x alloys
We report the thermoelectric properties of Heusler-type off-stoichiometric Fe2V1+xAl1-x alloys. Due to the off-stoichiometric effect, which is the substitution of V/Al atoms with Al/V atoms, semiconductor-like electric resistivity behavior in Fe2VAl is changed to metallic behavior in Fe2V1+xAl1-x alloys and both positive and negative absolute Seebeck coefficients are drastically increased. The ...

Single crystals of CdTe were grown by the sublimation and condensation technique in a silica, under an argon gas now, and also by alloing cadmium tcJloride transport within an evacuated silica ampoule. X-ray powder diffraction patlerns prepared from each group of grown crys tals showed the crystal structure of the examined samples to be zinc-blend race-cent red cubic. Transmission electr...
متن کاملCdTe-HgTe core-shell nanowire growth controlled by RHEED
We present results on the growth of CdTe-HgTe core-shell nanowires, a realization of a quasi-one-dimensional heterostructure of the topological insulator HgTe. The growth is a two step process consisting of the growth of single crystalline zinc blende CdTe nanowires with the vapor-liquid-solid method and the overgrowth of these wires with HgTe such that a closed shell is formed around the CdTe ...
