On crucible effects during the growth of cadmium zinc telluride in an electrodynamic gradient freeze furnace

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Gasperino, David ; Bliss, Mary ; Jones, Kelly A. ; ... January 2009 - Journal of Crystal Growth, 311(8):2327-2335

The CrysMAS code of the Crystal Growth Laboratory, Fraunhofer IISB, is applied to reveal conditions occurring in electrodynamic gradient freeze furnaces during the growth of cadmium zinc telluride crystals. Of particular interest are heat transfer and growth conditions associated with crucibles of different design, one constructed of graphite and the other of pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN). Under identical furnace set-point schedules, the PBN system exhibits very different heat transfer through the cone region of the crucible, resulting in steeper axial thermal profiles and convex solid-interface shapes (rather than the concave shapes computed for the graphite crucible). Both systems exhibit amore »« less

Towards Optimization of ACRT Schedules Applied to the Gradient Freeze Growth of Cadmium Zinc Telluride

Journal Article Divecha, Mia S. ; Derby, Jeffrey J. October 2017 - Journal of Crystal Growth

Historically, the melt growth of II-VI crystals has benefitted by the application of the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT). Here, we employ a comprehensive numerical model to assess the impact of two ACRT schedules designed for a cadmium zinc telluride growth system per the classical recommendations of Capper and co-workers. The “flow maximizing” ACRT schedule, with higher rotation, effectively mixes the solutal field in the melt but does not reduce supercooling adjacent to the growth interface. The ACRT schedule derived for stable Ekman flow, with lower rotation, proves more effective in reducing supercooling and promoting stable growth. Furthermore, these counterintuitivemore »« less

A three-dimensional phase field model coupled with lattice kinetics solver for modeling crystal growth in furnaces with accelerated crucible rotation and traveling magnetic field

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Lin, Guang ; Bao, Jie ; Xu, Zhijie November 2014 - Computers & Fluids, 103:204-214

In this study, which builds on other related work, we present a new three-dimensional numerical model for crystal growth in a vertical solidification system. This model accounts for buoyancy, accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT), and traveling magnetic field (TMF) induced convective flow and their effect on crystal growth and the chemical component's transport process. The evolution of the crystal growth interface is simulated using the phase field method. A semi-implicit lattice kinetics solver based on the Boltzmann equation is employed to model the unsteady incompressible flow. A one-way coupled concentration transport model is used to simulate the component fraction variationmore »« less

Growth of Bi doped cadmium zinc telluride single crystals by Bridgman oscillation method and its structural, optical, and electrical analyses

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Carcelen, V. ; Rodriguez-Fernandez, J. ; Dieguez, E. ; ... May 2010 - Journal of Applied Physics

The II-VI compound semiconductor cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) is very useful for room temperature radiation detection applications. In the present research, we have successfully grown Bi doped CZT single crystals with two different zinc concentrations (8 and 14 at. %) by the Bridgman oscillation method, in which one experiment has been carried out with a platinum (Pt) tube as the ampoule support. Pt also acts as a cold finger and reduces the growth velocity and enhances crystalline perfection. The grown single crystals have been studied with different analysis methods. The stoichiometry was confirmed by energy dispersive by x-ray and inductivelymore »« less

Pulse shape analysis for electron mobility study in cadmium zinc telluride gamma-ray detectors

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Mengesha, Wondwosen ; Aalseth, Craig E. ; Barnett, Debra S. ; ... June 2004 - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 51(3, Part 3):1166-1171

Digital pulse processing technique was implemented to determine electron mobility, mu e, and electron mobility life time product, mu e T e, in Cadmium Zinc Telluride Detectors (CZT). The Digital Gamma Finder (DGF-4C), single width CAMAC module, produced by X-ray Instrumentation Associates (XIA) was used to extract pulse height, pulse shape, and signal rise time information. Signal ballistic deficit correction feature of the DGF-4C was the incentive to measure the mu e and mu e Te in selected CZT samples. An almost linear relationship was observed for the signal rise time as a function of the inverse bias. This observedmore »« less
