Nanoindentation studies on bulk and epitaxial semiconductor crystals have been reviewed
in general. The common materials of technological interest such as Si, Ge, GaAs, GaN, InP …

Molecular dynamic simulations were performed to investigate the indentations of CdTe
crystal on (100),(110) and (111) surfaces. We found that the incipient plasticity, hardness …

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is a highly promising material for photovoltaics (PV) and
photodetectors due to its light‐absorbing properties. However, efficient design and use of …

Te precipitates are one of principal defects that form during cooling of melt-grown CdTe or
CZT crystals when grown Te-rich. Many factors such as the kinetic properties of intrinsic …

Herein, we study the crystallographic configuration of rosette-like dislocation clusters
introduced by indentation in CdZnTe (CZT) crystal and the effects of the dislocations on the …

It is well known that the CdTe material suffers from the presence of native defects, due to the
introduction of dislocations by pressure owing to its mechanical brittleness. Within this …

By investigating the photoluminescence (PL), we have studied laser-induced doping and
defect formation in high-resistivity Cl-compensated p-like CdTe crystals coated with and …

We studied deformation-induced defects in semi-insulating CdTe and CdZnTe by infrared
photoluminescence (PL) and compared our data with earlier results. We confirmed the direct …

Rutherford backscattering spectrometry was performed using 2 MeV alpha-particles, to
characterize electroless platinum contacts on cadmium telluride CdTe (111) crystals, aiming …

Experimental studies have been conducted to investigate the influence of dislocations on
the properties of CdZnTe crystals. Dislocations were introduced into CdZnTe wafers by …
