Mercuric iodide research and development in support of DOE historically black colleges and university program. Final technical progress report, May 4, 1994--January 31, 1997

摘要

This report describes the progress achieved during the period May 1, 1994 through July 31, 1996. During this period, the different subjects studied were: (a) Improvements in zone refining experiments to establish optimum refining parameters; (b) Development of surface reflection spectroscopy as a method to measure crystal surface temperature; preliminary results on applicability on CdTe material; (c) Atomic Force Microscopy studies in the contact mode; (d) Optical Methods for Measuring Iodine Vapor During Physical Vapor Transport of HgI{sub 2}; and (e) Establishment of a Brigman melt growth facility at Fisk University.
