Model compounds for cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) impurities

摘要

Molecular compounds used as potential experimental models for contaminant inclusions in cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) are discussed. The compounds include those that have been previously directly observed or postulated in previous research studies of CZT and ones that have not yet been observed or studied in either CZT melts or large crystals. Several experimental techniques that are effective for direct interrogation of impurities in solid materials such as CZT are discussed.
