IMPROVEMENT OF CdMnTe DETECTOR PERFORMANCE BY MnTe PURIFICATION

Description: Residual impurities in manganese (Mn) are a big obstacle to obtaining high-performance CdMnTe (CMT) X-ray and gamma-ray detectors. Generally, the zone-refining method is an effective way to improve the material's purity. In this work, we purified the MnTe compounds combining the zone-refining method with molten Te, which has a very high solubility for most impurities. We confirmed the improved purity of the material by glow-discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS). We also found that CMT crystals fro… more

Investigation of Cd1-xMgxTe Alloys for Tandem Solar Cell Applications (Poster)

Description: Fabrication and characterization of Cd{sub 1-x}Mg{sub x}Te(CMT) alloys and to determine their potential for device applications. Main emphasis is on the development of the devices in 1.5 to 1.8 eV range for the top cell of two-junction tandem solar cells. The conclusions are: (1) CMT alloy films with a wide composition range were fabricated; (2) the optical band gap shows a systematic variation with composition and CMT alloy films withstood the commonly used device processing steps for CdTe; an… more

Investigations of Cadmium Manganese Telluride Crystals for Room-Temperature Radiation Detection

Description: Cadmium manganese telluride (CMT) has high potential as a material for room-temperature nuclear-radiation detectors. We investigated indium-doped CMT crystals taken from the stable growth region of the ingot, and compared its characteristics with that from the last-to-freeze region. We employed different techniques, including synchrotron white-beam X-ray topography (SWBXT), current-voltage (I-V) measurements, and low-temperature photoluminescence spectra, and we also assessed their responses as… more
