Vn. Savushkin et al., STRENGTH AND ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF POLYCRYSTALLINE CADMIUM TELLURIDE, Soviet journal of optical technology, 60(1), 1993, pp. 55-57
A study is reported of the mechanical properties of polycrystalline ca
dmium telluride produced by the sublimation and deformation methods. T
he elastic properties and crack resistance of the materials were measu
red at room temperature. The tensile strength, yield point, and elasti
c limit were investigated over a wide temperature range. It was noted
that the mechanical properties of cadmium telluride were affected by d
epartures from stoichiometry.
