Abstract

CuAlTe2, CuGaTe2 and CuInTe2 single crystals have been grown by the closed tube chemical vapor transport technique. The CuBTe2 -I2 system was considered and the optimization of thermodynamical growth parameters, necessary for avoiding the peritectoid decomposition and the formation of spurious species (i.e. liquid Te, solid TeI4 and liquid CuI) was performed. The gap values and electrical characterization have also been reported.
