Abstract

CdTe single crystals were grown by vertical Bridgman method using double furnace with two siliconit heating elements. When the peak temperature of the upper furnace was fixed at $1150^{\circ}C$ and that of the lower furnace was $800^{\circ}C$, the temperature gradient was about $22.5^{\circ}C$/cm. The lattice constant $a_0$ was $6.482\AA$ from the X-ray diffraction and the band gap energy obtained from the optical absorption experiment at room temperature was 1.478 eV. PL spectrum showed that the bound exciton emission peak was resolved into ($A^0,X$) (1.5902, 1.5887 eV), ($h\;D^0$) (1.5918 eV) and ($D^0,X$ (1.5928, 1.5932 eV), and we have also calculated binding energy and ionization energy of the neutral donor and acceptor.

두 개의 siliconit 발열체를 써서 이단 전기로를 제작하여 수직 Bridgman법으로 CdTe 단결정을 성장시켰다. 상단전기로의 최고온부를 $1150^{\circ}C$로 고정시키고 하단전기로를 $800^{\circ}C$로 하였을 때, $22.51150^{\circ}C$/cm의 온도 기울기를 얻었다. 성장된 시료의 X$.$선 회절 실험으로부터 얻은 격자상수 $a_0$는 6.482$\AA$이었고, 실온에서 광흡수 측정으로부터 얻은 밴드갭 에너지는 1.478eV이었다. 광발광(PL) 실험으로부터, 구속된 엑시톤 방출 피크가 각각 ($A^0$, X) (1.5902, 1.5887ev), (h,$D^o$) (1.5918 eV) 그리고 ($D^o$, X) (1.5928, 1.5932 eV)의 방출 피크로 분리되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 중성주개와 중성받개의 결합에너지와 이온화에너지를 계산하였다.
