AbstractTlBr single crystals grown using the vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger method were characterized for semiconductor based radiation detector applications. It has been shown that the vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger method is effective to grow high-quality single crystalline ingots of TlBr. The TlBr single crystalline sample, which was located 6 cm from the tip of the ingot, exhibited lower impurity concentration, higher crystalline quality, high enough bandgap (>2.7 eV), and higher resistivity (2.5 × 1011 Ω·cm) which enables using the fabricated samples from the middle part of the TlBr ingot for fabricating high performance semiconductor radiation detectors.

AbstractA photoluminescence (PL) study of Cu(In,Ga)Se_2 (CIGSe) single crystals, (grown by the vertical Bridgman technique) with the [Ga]/[Ga + In] ratio of 7 and 12% and the [Cu]/[In + Ga] ratio greater than unity, as measured by energy dispersive spectroscopy, is presented. Analysis of the excitation intensity and temperature dependence of the PL spectra suggested the excitonic nature of the observed near-band-edge emissions peaks. Free and bound excitons in CIGSe single crystals with both 7 and 12% Ga content are clearly observed, analyzed and identified. An activation energy of 19 meV is determined for the free exciton in the PL spectra of the sample with 12% Ga. The presence of the excitons demonstrated a high structural quality of the material.

Thermal conductivity of three different GaAs crystals, one grown by Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski technique and the other two samples grown by Vertical Bridgman technique have been experimentally measured at temperatures 310 K to 360 K. Two crystals are undoped and semi insulating and one crystal is conductive which is doped with Si and B(Silicon ≈ 4x1015 cm-3 and Boron ≈ 8x 1015cm-3). It has been experimentally observed that doping of silicon and boron gives rise to an increase in thermal conductivity.

The vertical Bridgman technique was an effective technique to grow congruent oxide crystals. However, it is difficult to grow incongruent crystals due to the erosion of the fluxes on seeds which was usually put at the bottom of the crucible. Recently, we developed a flux Bridgman growth process for some difficult-grown functional crystals, such as PZNT, ZnO and SLN. The properties of as-grown crystals were characterized and the crystal quality was evaluated. The results show that the flux Bridgman method is a potential approach to grow incongruent oxide crystals for industrial applications.
