Relationship between the cathodoluminescence emission and resistivity in In doped CdZnTe crystals

Abstract

Cadmium zinc telluride, CdZnTe, bulk single crystals doped with 10^19 at./cm^3 of indium in the initial melt were grown by vertical Bridgman technique. The samples were investigated by energy dispersive spectroscopy, cathodoluminiscence (CL), and current-voltage behavior at room temperature. The results shows that Cd and Te vacancy concentration depend on the indium and zinc concentrations. CL measurements indicate a relationship between radiative centers associated to Cd and Te vacancies and resistivity values.
