Large homogeneous Pbsub(1-x)Snsub(x)Te single crystal growth by vapor-melt-solid mechanism

  • 1. Musashino Electrical Communication Lab., Tokyo (Japan)

Description

Single crystals of Pbsub(1-x)Snsub(x)Te measuring up to 25 mm in diameter and 100 mm in length were grown by the vapor-melt-solid (VMS) mechanism. The VMS-grown crystals showed excellent uniformity in composition. The Sn mole fraction along the growth axis was 0.19 +- 0.01 in the region of 0.2 < g < 0.8, where g is the solidified fraction, when the crystals were grown from a Pbsub(0.8)Snsub(0.2)Te charge. All as-grown crystals showed p-type conduction and had almost a 1.7 x 1019 cm-3 carrier concentration and 1300 cm2/V x s Hall mobility at 77 K. (orig.)
