Interface stability problem towards the end of THM growth of cadmium zinc telluride crystals

2022-04-15
Growth of CdZnTe crystals by Travelling Heater Method (THM) is widely investigated by different groups. Interface shape and stability are critical parameters for the successful growth of high-quality CZT crystals. Even though interface stability could be achieved for a significant portion of the CZT ingot, the situation towards the end of the growth is not well studied and understood. In this study, interface stability and the change of crystal quality towards the end of the growth are examined. The change of the interface shape and formation of large Te inclusions are observed. Moreover, towards the end of the growth, phase separation and formation of a new zinc-based phase are detected with a needle-like structure. The decrease of crystal quality and evolution of the CZT ingot towards the end of the growth are summarized.

Temperature dependence of Raman-active mode frequencies and linewidths in TlGaSe2 layered crystals
Yuksek, NS; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2005-03-01)
Raman spectra of TlGaSe2 crystal at different temperatures are discussed. The temperature dependence of frequency shifts and linewidths of the Raman peaks in the frequency region of 10-320 cm(-1) have been measured in the range from 50 to 320 K. The analysis of the experimental data showed that the temperature dependencies of phonon frequencies and linewidths are well described by considering the contributions from thermal expansion and lattice anharmonicity. The anharmonic contribution (phonon-phonon coupl...
Crystal data and indirect optical transitions in Tl2InGaSe4 crystals
QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-03)
The room temperature crystal data and the optical properties of the Bridgman method grown Tl2InGaSe4 crystals are reported and discussed. The X-ray diffraction technique has revealed that Tl2InGaSe4 is a single phase crystal of monoclinic structure. The unit cell lattice parameters, which were recalculated from the X-ray data, are found to be a = 0.77244 nm, b = 0.64945 nm, c = 0.92205 nm and beta = 95.03 degrees. The temperature dependence of the optical band gap of Tl2InGaSe4 single crystal in the tempera...
Electrical Characterization of ZnInSe2/Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 Thin-Film Heterojunction
Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)
ZnInSe2/Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 diode structures have been fabricated by thermal evaporation of stacked layers on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates. Temperature-dependent dark current-voltage measurements were carried out to extract the diode parameters and to determine the dominant conduction mechanisms in the forward- and reverse-bias regions. The heterostructure showed three order of magnitude rectifying behavior with a barrier height of 0.72 eV and ideality factor of 2.16 at room temperature. In the high...
Energy band gap and oscillator parameters of Ga4Se3S single crystals
Qasrawi, A. F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2007-06-01)
The optical properties of the Bridgman method grown Ga4Se3S crystals have been investigated by means of room temperature, transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis. The optical data have revealed an indirect allowed transition band gap of 2.08 eV. The room temperature refractive index, which was calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the dispersion and oscillator energies, static dielectric constant and static refractive index as 21.08 and 3.85 eV, 6.48 a...
MIGRATION BEHAVIOR OF BARIUM AND STRONTIUM IN GRANITE
HATIPOGLU, S; GOKTURK, H; ERTEN, HN (1994-01-01)
The sorption behaviour of Ba2+ and Sr2+ cations on granite have been studied under flowing and static conditions in column and batch experiments. Ba-133, Sr-90 and H-3 were used as radio tracers. The retardation factors, R(f) and distribution ratios, R(d), of barium and strontium in column experiments were found to be smaller than those from batch experiments. In both techniques barium was sorbed more strongly on granite than strontium. Sorption energies were found to be in good agreement with literature va...
