Phase equilibria in the system Cd—Te

The system Cd-Te. was studied as a function of composition temperature and component pressure over the entire range. The maximum controlled Cd pressure that may be imposed on solid CdTe is 6.7 atm. Similarly for Te 2 pressure, the limit is about 1.6 atm. The consequence of such a maximum pressure, w...

Description
Summary:The system Cd-Te. was studied as a function of composition temperature and component pressure over the entire range. The maximum controlled Cd pressure that may be imposed on solid CdTe is 6.7 atm. Similarly for Te 2 pressure, the limit is about 1.6 atm. The consequence of such a maximum pressure, which also applies to the liquidus, is discussed. The present results then form a foundation for a basic investigation of the semiconductor properties of CdTe in a thermodynamically better understood system.
