Abstract
A stoichiometric mixture for $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. The $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was grown in the three-stage vertical electric furnace by using Bridgeman method. The quality of the grown crystal has been investigated by the x-ray diffraction and the photoluminescence measurements. The (001) growth plane of oriented $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was confirmed from back-reflection Laue patterns. The carrier density and mobility of $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.61{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and $242\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.4750\;eV-(7.69{\times}10^{-3}\;eV)T^2/(T+2147)$. After the as-grown $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was annealed in Cd-, In-, and Te-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{Te}$, $Cd_{int}$, and $V_{Cd}$, $Te_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Cd-atmosphere converted $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal to an optical n-type. Also, we confirmed that In in $CdIn_2Te_4$ did not form the native defects because In in $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal existed in the form of stable bonds.
