LIGHT INDUCED TELLURIUM ENRICHMENT ON CDZNTE CRYSTALSURFACES DETECTED BY RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

Description: Synthetic CdZnTe or 'CZT' crystals can be grown under controlled conditions to produce high quality crystals to be used as room temperature radiation detectors. Even the best crystal growth methods result in defects, such as tellurium secondary phases, that affect the crystal's performance. In this study, CZT crystals were analyzed by micro Raman spectroscopy. The growth of Te rich areas on the surface was induced by low powered lasers. The growth was observed versus time with low power Raman s… more
