Title: X-ray topographic study of Bridgman-grown CdZnTeSe

Abstract

We have characterized the structural quality of Cd_0.9Zn_0.1Te_0.93Se_0.07 ingot grown by the vertical Bridgman growth technique. The structural quality of Cd_0.9Zn_0.1Te_0.93Se_0.07 ingot along the length was investigated via X-ray topography in the reflection mode using a white beam synchrotron radiation source. The X-ray topography data revealed the presence of very few sub grain boundaries and no sub-grain boundary network for the CdZnTeSe samples used in this study.

Analysis of CZT crystals and detectors grown in Russia and the Ukraine by high-pressure Bridgman methods

Conference Hermon, H ; Schieber, M ; James, R B ; ...

Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is leading an effort to evaluate vertical high pressure Bridgman (VHPB) Cd{sub 1-x}Zn{sub x}Te (CZT) crystals grown in the former Soviet Union (FSU) (Ukraine and Russia), in order to study the parameters limiting the crystal quality and the radiation detector performance. The stoichiometry of the CZT crystals, with 0.04 < x < 0.25, has been determined by methods such as proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microprobe analysis and laser ablation ICP mass spectroscopy (LA-ICP/MS). Other methods such as triaxial double crystal x-ray diffraction (TADXRD), infrared transmission spectroscopy (IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermoelectric emissionmore »« less

High Compositional Homogeneity of CdTe_xSe_1-x Crystals Grown by the Bridgman Method

Journal Article Roy, U. N. ; Bolotnikov, A. E. ; Camarda, G. S. ; ... - APL Materials

We obtained high-quality CdTe_xSe_1-x (CdTeSe) crystals from ingots grown by the vertical Bridgman technique. The compositional uniformity of the ingots was evaluated by X-ray fluorescence at BNL’s National Synchrotron Light Source X27A beam line. The resulting compositional homogeneity was highly uniform throughout the ingot, and the effective segregation coefficient of Se was ~1.0. This uniformity offers potential opportunity to enhance the yield of the materials for both infrared substrate and radiation-detector applications, so greatly lowering the cost of production and also offering us the prospect to grow large-diameter ingots for use as large-area substrates and for producing higher efficiency gamma-raymore »« less

Impact of selenium addition to the cadmium-zinc-telluride matrix for producing high energy resolution X-and gamma-ray detectors

Journal Article Roy, Utpal N. ; Camarda, Giuseppe S. ; Cui, Yonggang ; ... - Scientific Reports

Both material quality and detector performance have been steadily improving over the past few years for the leading room temperature radiation detector material cadmium-zinc-telluride (CdZnTe). However, although tremendous progress being made, CdZnTe still suffers from high concentrations of performance-limiting defects, such as Te inclusions, networks of sub-grain boundaries and compositional inhomogeneity due to the higher segregation coefficient of Zn. Adding as low as 2% (atomic) Se into CdZnTe matrix was found to successfully mitigate many performance-limiting defects and provide improved compositional homogeneity. Here we report record-high performance of Virtual Frisch Grid (VFG) detector fabricated from as-grown Cd_0.9Zn_0.1Te_0.98Se_0.02 ingot grown bymore »« less
