Comprehensive characterization of CdTe and (Cd, Zn)Te single crystals by a chemical etchant

  • 1. Humboldt-Universitaet, Berlin (German Democratic Republic). Sektion Physik

Description

Using a known chemical etchant low- and high angle boundaries and lamellar twins can be seen on CdTe and (Cd, Zn)Te crystal ingots as a whole as well as on slices with naked eyes. Also the polarity of (111) samples can be determined in this way. Etch pits are produced on cut and polished surfaces independent of their crystallographic orientation. A new modified etchant was used to study the low angle subgrain structure on (111)Te surfaces. (author)
