Orbital Processing of High-Quality Zn-Alloyed CdTe Compound SemiconductorsThe objective of this research is to investigate the influences of gravitationally-dependent phenomena (hydrostatic and buoyant) on the growth and quality of doped and alloyed Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CdZnTe) crystals grown by the modified seeded Bridgman-Stockbarger technique. It is hypothesized that the damping of the gravitationally-dependent buoyancy convection will substantially enhance chemical homogeneity and the near-elimination of hydrostatic pressure will enable significant reduction in defect (dislocations and twins) density.
