Structures and growth characteristics of crystals based on the Cd-Te lattice, which are potentially useful in infrared radiation detectors, are described. Single crystals of CdTe, Mn(x)Cd(1-x)Te, and CdSe(y)Te(1-y) have been grown by the vertical Bridgman method and those of Zn(x)Cd(1-l)Te by zone leveling. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were used to determine the quality and uniformity of composition. From the probing of small areas, allowed by this PL characterization technique, the uniform incorporation of Mn, Zn, and Se into the CdTe lattice was determined. 15 references.
