Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Procedures were developed for growing perfect TlIn1 – x Pr x Se2 and TlIn1 – x Pr x Te2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.08) single crystals. The growth charges were synthesized by a process involving partial cooling of a tilted, rotating tube. The crystals grown by the floating zone technique were found to readily cleave in two, mutually perpendicular mirror planes to give rectangular parallelepipeds. The crystals were shown to exhibit a sizeable acoustophotovoltaic effect: a combined action of radiation and sound waves produced an emf between the electrodes or a short-circuit current.
