Transport properties of Cd0.8Zn0.2Te crystals

After Cd0.8Zn0.2Te (CZT) crystals were prepared by a special design based on Bridgman technique, the transport properties were investigated. The dependence of electrical conductivity, Hall effect, Hall mobility, charge carriers concentration and thermoelectric power on temperatures was carried out in the temperature range (228–500 K). The relaxation time for both majority and minority carriers was estimated. The scattering mechanism for carrier transport was discussed in the same temperature range.
