Bridgman CdTe and CdZnTe crystal growth, with cadmium vapor pressure control, is applied to production of semiconductor gamma radiation detectors. Crystals are highly donor doped and highly electrically conducting. Annealing in tellurium…
In this paper we present the single crystal growth of Fe0.95Se0.6Te0.4 high TC superconducting sample by the modified Bridgman technique. The x-ray diffraction pattern shows the single crystal nature of the sample, as only (00l) peaks are…
We report on a modified chemical vapor transport (CVT) methodology for the growth of pure and intercalated Zr, Ti, and Hf dichalcogenide single crystals, e.g. ZrTe2, Gd0.05ZrTe2, HfTe2, and Cu0.05TiTe2. While the most common method for CVT…
A floating zone furnace is a powerful tool for single crystal growth. Here, we report the floating zone furnace using a high power diode laser of 1kW composed of five 200 Watt heating beams. The five beams with the designed irradiation…
Single-photon terahertz (THz) detection is one of the most demanding technology for a variety of fields and could lead to many breakthroughs. Although its significant progress has been made in the last two decades, operating it at room…
High-purity germanium crystals approximately 12 cm in diameter were grown in a hydrogen atmosphere using the Czochralski method. The dislocation density of the crystals was determined to be in the range of 2000 - 4200 cm-2, which meets a…
We have attempted the crystal growth by the traveling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) method of La_{2-x}Ba_xCuO_4 with x~1/8, where the superconductivity is strongly suppressed. Under flowing O_2-gas of a high pressure (4 bars), we have…
