Ru. Barz et P. Gille, THE MECHANISM OF INCLUSION FORMATION DURING CRYSTAL-GROWTH BY THE TRAVELING HEATER METHOD, Journal of crystal growth, 149(3-4), 1995, pp. 196-200
Defects resulting from the crystallization of mother liquid inclusions
are a common occurrence in crystals grown by the travelling heater me
thod. The need to distinguish these defects from defects formed by sol
id-state precipitation is stressed. This paper reports on an investiga
tion of Te inclusions in Cd1-xZnxTe crystals which were grown from Te-
rich solution zones and it gives an explanation of the mechanism of th
eir formation by interpreting the composition changes of the matrix su
rrounding them.
