Alloy disorder and partial order effects on the bowing parameter of CdZnTe semiconductors
Cd1−xZnxTe (CZT) is an important semiconductor for applications in radiation detectors. As the Zn concentration x varies, the bandgap of CZT changes accordingly, and this composition-dependent behavior is commonly described by a bowing parameter b that is independent of x. For CZT alloys, however, the measured b exhibi...
