AbstractWe have characterized ZnSe material grown by chemical vapor transport in iodine using triple-axis X-ray diffraction (TAD), photo-induced current transient spectroscopy (PICTS), photoluminescence (PL), current-voltage measurements and gamma-ray spectroscopy. The material was found to have inadequate carrier transport for nuclear spectrometer use, but there was a discernible difference in performance between crystals which could be correlated with crystallinity as determined by the TAD rocking curves.

The layered FeOCl has been synthesized from Fe2O3 and FeCl3 by chemical vapor transport technique at 380°C., and an intercalation of sodium benzoate into as-synthesized FeOCl was conduct. After the intercalation composites were sonicated for 4 h in butyl alcohol, the colloidal suspension of layered iron oxide nanosheets was obtained. The FeOCl and the intercalation composites were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) was also used to characterize the morphologies of the FeO+ Nanosheets. Except to this, the selected area electron diffraction was also performed to examine the iron nanosheets.

A chemical vapor transport (CVT) method was implemented to grow bulk ZnO crystals. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical microscope (OM) studies were carried out to characterize the surface properties of the grown crystal. The XRD result indicated the exposed solid-vapor interface of the as-grown crystal was composed of (0001) and {101-1} faces. Using SEM and OM, we observed small hexagonal pyramids and microstructures formed of crosslines on the as-grown crystal and found hexagonal thermal etching pits on the surfaces of seed crystals. The formation, evolution, and distribution mechanisms of the microstructures were investigated.

We report optimized crystal growth conditions for the quarternary compound AgCrP2S6 by chemical vapor transport. Compositional and structural characterization of the obtained crystals were carried out by means of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. AgCrP2S6 is structurally closely related to the M2P2S6 family, which contains several compounds that are under investigation as 2D magnets. As-grown crystals exhibit a plate-like, layered morphology as well as a hexagonal habitus. AgCrP2S6 crystallizes in monoclinic symmetry in the space group P2/a (No. 13). The successful growth of large high-quality single crystals paves the way for further investigations of low dimensional magnetism and its anisotropies in the future and may further allow for the manufacturing of few-layer (or even monolayer) samples by exfoliation.

EXTENDED ABSTRACTThe chemical vapor transport and crystal growth properties of the Hgl−xCdxTe iodine system (x=0.2, 0.5 and 0.7) are investigated as a function of transport agent pressure and orientation of the density gradient with respect to the gravity vector to understand the effects of convection on mass transfer and crystal morphology. A thermodynamic analysis of the solid-gas phase system yielded the composition of the vapor and the partial pressures of the gaseous species as a function of temperature and total pressure to assist in the elucidation of the dominant transport mode. Optical and scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe, chemical etching, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy techniques were employed to examine the surface and bulk morphology and compositional homogeneity of single crystals obtained under different conditions.

Single crystals of Cu2ZnSn(SxSe1-x)4(CZTSSe) solid solutions have deen grown by chemical vapor transport technique using ICl3as a transport agent. Analyzing the X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that the as-grown CZTSSe solid solutions are crystallized in kesterite structure and the lattice parameters are determined. The S contents of the obtained crystals are estimated by Vegard’s law. The composition dependent band gaps of CZTSSe solid solutions are studied by electrolyte electroreflectance (EER) techniques. The band gaps of CZTSSe are evaluated by a lineshape fit of the EER spectra and are found to increase almost linearly with the increase of S content.

AbstractWe investigate by photoluminescence (PL) nominally undoped, commercially available Zinc Oxide substrates (from Eagle Picher) grown by seeded chemical vapor transport technique in order to identify residual donors and acceptors. In low temperature PL spectra the dominant emission comes from the decay of bound exciton lines at around 3.36 eV. Zeeman measurements allow the identification of the two strongest lines and some weaker lines in-between as donorrelated. From the associated two-electron satellite lines binding energies of the major donors of 48 meV and 55 meV, respectively, can be deduced.

Abstract Herein, the evolution of reduction process of ultrafine tungsten powder in industrial conditions was investigated. The transition process of morphology and composition was examined via SEM, XRD, and calcination experiments. The results show that the reduction sequence of WO2.9 was WO2.9 → WO2.72 → WO2 → W on the surface, but WO2.9 → WO2 → W inside the oxide particles. With the aid of chemical vapor transport of WO x (OH) y , surface morphology transformed into rod-like, star-shaped cracking, floret, irregularly fibrous structure, and finally, spherical tungsten particles.
