Dear colleagues,
you are cordially invited to the Photonics Center seminar of the
Laboratory for Photoacoustics, which will be held on Wednesday, 22nd May
2019 at 11:00 in the library reading room "Dr Dragan Popović" of the
Institute of Physics Belgrade. The talk entitled
"The growth and properties of mixed
Cd1-xZnxTe alloys"
will be given by Dr Hab. Inž. Karol Strzałkowski from the Institute of
Physics, Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Informatics, Nicolaus
Copernicus University, Grudziadzka 5, 87-100 Torun, Poland
(https://www.ifiz.umk.pl/en/science/).
The abstract of the talk is provided below.
Investigated in this work mixed Cd1-xZnxTe compounds are interesting
materials for modern electronics and materials science. CdTe based
crystals are promising materials as x-ray and gamma-ray detectors [1]
but also substrate for infrared sensors (HgCdTe) [2]. The variation in
composition allows tuning of their fundamental parameters like energy
band-gap and lattice constant, which is very important from an
application point of view.
Cd1-xZnxTe mixed crystals investigated in this work were grown from the
melt by vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger method in the whole range of
composition 0<x<1 that is from one binary crystal (CdTe) to another
(ZnTe). The real composition of grown crystals was measured with SEM/EDS
method along the growth axis. The segregation coefficient of Zn in CdTe
matrix has been evaluated as close to unity. The energy gap as a
function of the composition was determined from transmission
spectroscopy. Thanks to that bowing parameter of this ternary alloy were
found to be 0.458. In this work, for the first time, the systematical
study of thermal properties of Cd1-xZnxTe alloys from one binary crystal
(CdTe) to another (ZnTe) grown by vertical Bridgman technique was
undertaken. The thermal diffusivity and effusivity of investigated
crystals were derived from the experimental data and allowed calculating
the thermal conductivity. Diagrams of the thermal conductivity versus
composition were analyzed applying the model for mixed semiconducting
crystals given by Sadao Adachi [3]. Thanks to that contribution of the
thermal resistivity arising from the lattice disorder to the total
resistivity of the crystal have been determined.
