Abstract
CdTe and (Cd,Zn)Te crystals were compared by their material properties. The compensation mechanism of(Cd,Zn)Te and the influence of deep levels are co mpared to CdTe. The detector grade of(Cd,Zn)Te is obtained with a peak-to-v alley ratio of 3.5 for a Co-57 spectrum. The homogeneity of electrical prop erties is discussed by photoluminescence and TDCM mappings. Recent applicat ions of(Cd,Zn)Te detectors are presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. Al l rights reserved.
