Abstract
InSb1-xBix crystals with x varying from 0 to 0.06 were grown by vertical Br idgman technique. The grown crystals were characterised by X-ray diffractio n method for phase analysis and for the measurement of lattice parameter. T he solubility of InBi in InSb was determined using differential thermal ana lysis. Chemical etching and microhardness studies were carried out on the g rown crystals. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
