The Single Crystal Growth Method of undoped and Co-doped $Zn_4SnSe_6$

$Zn_4SnSe_6:Co^{2+}$ 단결정의 성장방법에 관한 연구

In this paper, the undoped and Co-doped $Zn_4SnSe_6$ single crystals grown by the chemical transporting reaction(CTR) method using iodine as a transporting agent are investigated. For the crystal growth, the temperature gradient of the CTR furnace was kept at $680^{\circ}C$ for the source zone and at $780^{\circ}C$ for the growth zone for 7days. It was found from the analysis of x-ray diffraction that the $Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6Co^{2+}$ compounds have a monoclinic structure. The direct optical energy band gap of the $Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6Co^{2+}$ single crystals at 300K were found to be 2.146eV and 2.042eV.
