zinc telluride

Zinc telluride is a binary chemical compound with the formula ZnTe.

Zinc telluride can be easily doped, and for this reason it is one of the more common semiconducting materials used in optoelectronics.

Similar materials are cadmium zinc telluride and mercury cadmium telluride.

Mercury zinc telluride has better chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability characteristics than HgCdTe.

A popular material for generating radiation in the 0.5-3 THz range (1 mm wavelength) is zinc telluride.

Typical crystal materials are zinc telluride, gallium phosphide, and gallium selenide.

Common semiconductor-based detectors include germanium, cadmium telluride, and cadmium zinc telluride.

The radiation sensor uses a crystalline material called cadmium zinc telluride or CZT which is similar to the silicon used in a computer chip.

Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) is a semiconductor alloy that can be divided into an array of small sensing devices.

Mercury zinc telluride is used in infrared detectors and arrays for infrared imaging and infrared astronomy.

Sometimes cadmium telluride is reacted with zinc to make cadmium zinc telluride, a semiconductor.

Mercury telluride, Cadmium telluride, Mercury zinc telluride.

Zinc telluride typically had a cubic (sphalerite, or "zincblende") crystal structure, but can be also prepared as hexagonal crystals (wurzite structure).

Vanadium-doped zinc telluride, "ZnTe:V", is a non-linear optical photorefractive material of possible use in the protection of sensors at visible wavelengths.

Zinc selenide, ZnSe, however, is yellow, due to charge-transfer transitions and zinc telluride, ZnTe is brown for the same reason.

Conversely, subjecting a zinc telluride crystal to terahertz radiation causes it to show optical birefringence and change the polarization of a transmitting light, making it an electro-optic detector.

Detectors based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) and its alloy with zinc, cadmium zinc telluride, have an increased sensitivity, which allows lower doses of X-rays to be used.

Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) - Astrosat will carry a hard X-ray imager in the form of CZTI.

Non-linear optics techniques are being investigated: e.g. vanadium-doped zinc telluride (ZnTe:V) can be used to form electro-optic power limiters able to selectively block the intense dazzler beam without affecting weaker light from an observed scene.

Mercury zinc telluride (HgZnTe, MZT) is a telluride of mercury and zinc, an alloy of mercury telluride and zinc telluride.

Cadmium zinc telluride, (CdZnTe) or CZT, is a compound of cadmium, zinc and tellurium or, more strictly speaking, an alloy of cadmium telluride and zinc telluride.
