Mass flux and crystal composition in the Hg 0.8Cd 0.2TeHgI 2 vapor transport system
Abstract
Chemical vapor transport studies of the Hg 0.8Cd 0.2TeHgI 2 system were performed to further test and extend the transport model developed earlier in this laboratory for this system. Experimental results in terms of mass transport rates and composition of the grown crystals as a function of growth temperature and of transport agent (HgI 2) pressure, for a fixed source temperature (590°C), are compared with theoretically predicted data. The good agreement between experimental and theoretical results confirms the validity of the model applied to the CVT process of this system.
