摘要: We obtained high-quality CdTexSe1−x (CdTeSe) crystals from ingots grown by the vertical Bridgman technique. The compositional uniformity of was evaluated X-ray fluorescence at BNL’s National Synchrotron Light Source X27A beam line. homogeneity highly uniform throughout ingot, and effective segregation coefficient Se ∼1.0. This high offers potential opportunity to enhance yield materials for both infrared substrate radiation-detector applications, so greatly lowering cost production also offering us prospect grow large-diameter use as large-area substrates producing higher efficiency gamma-ray detectors. concentration secondary phases found be much lower, eight- ten fold compared that conventional CdxZn1−xTe (CdZnTe or CZT).
