Mechanism of tin diffusion in ZnTe single crystals

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The diffusion coefficient of Sn in single-crystal zinc telluride has been measured. In the temperature range 1070–1270 K, Sn diffusion follows a vacancy mechanism, producing for the most part SnZn substitutional atoms, which act as donors with an ionization energy of ∼0.26 eV.
