The rotatory Bridgman method was used to grow ternary InSb(1-x)Bix crystals
. In this method the ampoule was subjected to ACRT like reversible rotation
at a peak rate of 60 rpm. High-quality crystals of 8 mm diameter and 25 mm
length were grown with 6.54 atomic percentage of Bi. The grown crystals we
re characterized employing various techniques such as energy-dispersive X-r
ay analysis, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetery, infrare
d spectroscopy and Hall measurement. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig
