P. Fougeres et al., PROPERTIES OF CD1-XZNXTE CRYSTALS GROWN BY HIGH-PRESSURE BRIDGMAN FORNUCLEAR-DETECTION, Journal of crystal growth, 185, 1998, pp. 1313-1318
CdxZn1-xTe crystals grown by high-pressure Bridgman are promising for
nuclear detection and are already widely used and studied for this app
lication. Phase precipitation is identified for the first time in such
HPB grown crystals, more or less pronounced depending on the samples
studied. TEM images and electron diffraction patterns are presented. T
he possible relationships with nuclear detection performance and defec
t energy levels are discussed in the light of nuclear spectrometry, PI
CTS, TSC and TEES. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
