Abstract

Low temperature photoluminescence (PL), photoinduced current spectroscopy (PICTS) and thermoelectric effect spectroscopy (TEES) measurements have been carried out on several CdZnTe samples, taken from the same ingot, grown by the High Pressure Bridgman Technique. The PL bandgap edge luminescence allowed us to study the quality of the CdZnTe material. We have also determined the zinc segregation through the ingot. A broad luminescence band at lower energies was observed and correlated with PICTS results. The behavior of the defects through the ingot was studied by PICTS. Finally, these results are used to implement the resistivity model.
