Growth of CdZnTe Crystals the Bridgman Technique with Controlled Overpressures of Cd

Cd(1-x)Zn(x)Te crystals with x = 0.15 and 0.20, were grown in this study by closed-ampoule directional solidification (Bridgman) technique with a controlled Cd overpressure. The growth ampoule was made of quartz with inner diameter from 20 to 40 mm and a tapered length of 2.5 cm at the growth tip. Both unseeded and seeded growths were performed with total material charges up to 400 g. After the loading of starting CdZnTe material, a typical amount of 2 g of Cd was also loaded inside a Cd reservoir basket, which was attached beneath the seal-off cup. The ampoule was sealed off under a vacuum below lxl0(exp -5) Torr. The sealed ampoule was placed inside a 4-zone Bridgman furnace - a Cd reservoir zone with a heat-pipe furnace liner on the top, followed by a hot zone, a booster heating zone and a cold zone at the bottom. The Cd zone was typically 300 to 400 C below the hot zone setting. High resistivity material has been obtained without any intentional dopants but has been reproducibly obtained with In doping. The crystalline and the electrical properties of the crystals will be reported.

Structural Asymmetry and Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity in Chiral Palladium-Halide Semiconductors

Chiral Pb-free metal-halide semiconductors (MHSs) have attracted considerable attention in the field of spintronics due to various interesting spin-related properties and chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. Despite their excellent chemical and structural tunability, the material scope and crystal structure of Pb-free chiral MHSs exhibiting the CISS effect are still limited; chiral MHSs that have metal-halide structures of octahedra and tetrahedra are only reported. Here, we report a new class of chiral MHSs, of which palladium (Pd)-halides are formed in 1D square-pyramidal structures or 0D square-planar structures, with a general formula of ((R/S-MBA) 2 PdBr 4 ) 1-x ((R/S-MBA) 2 PdCl 4 ) x (MBA = methylbenzylammonium; x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) for the first time. The crystals adopt the 1D helical chain of Pd-halide square-pyramid (for x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) and 0D structure of Pd-halide square-plane (for x = 1). All the Pd-halides are distorted by the interaction between the halide and the chiral organic ammonium and arranged in a noncentrosymmetric position. Circular dichroism (CD) for ((R/S-MBA) 2 PdBr 4 ) 1-x ((R/S-MBA) 2 PdCl 4 ) x indicates that chirality was transferred from chiral organic ammonium to Pd-halide inorganics. ((R-MBA) 2 PdBr 4 ) 1-x ((R-MBA) 2 PdCl 4 ) x (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) shows a distortion index of 0.127-0.128, which is the highest value among the previously reported chiral MHSs to the best of our knowledge. We also find that (R/S-MBA) 2 Pd(Br 1-x Cl x ) 4 crystals grow along the out-of-plane direction during spin coating and have high c-axis orientation and crystallinity, and (R/S-MBA) 2 Pd(Br 1-x Cl x ) 4 (x = 0 and 0.5) crystals exhibit a CISS effect in polycrystalline bulk films. In conclusion, these results demonstrate the possibility of a new metal-halide series with square-planar structures or square-pyramidal structures for future spintronic applications.

Vectorial Charge Transfer across Bipolar Membrane Loaded with CdS and Au Nanoparticles

Bipolar membranes (BPMs) which consist of a cation exchange layer (CEL) and anion exchange layer (AEL) are quite effective as membranes in gas phase electrolyzers. However, such membranes can also serve as a host to embed photocatalysts and electrocatalysts. By selectively exchanging cations with Cd 2+ and anions with AuCl 4 – , we were able to synthesize CdS and Au nanoparticles in CEL and AEL layers, respectively, through sequential chemical and photocatalytic reactions. Reacting Cd 2+ with thioacetamide formed the CdS nanoparticles in CEL. The photogenerated electrons from CdS were then used to reduce AuCl4– in an H-cell configuration to produce Au nanoparticles in AEL and thus prepare a photocatalytically active BPM film (referred to as a CdS/BPM/Au film). Such a concerted design of BPM allows “vectorial” electron transfer between two layers of BPM leading to its transfer to an acceptor molecule (methyl viologen) in solution. Designing photocatalytically active BPM and understanding the vectorial electron flow between two separate ion-selective layers offer new opportunities in water splitting and CO 2 reduction.

Giant Apparent Optical Circular Dichroism in Thin Films of Bismuth-Based Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Metal Halide Semiconductor Through Preferred Orientation

Introducing chirality into organic/inorganic hybrid materials can impart chiroptical properties such as circular dichroism. The ability to tune chiroptical properties in self-assembled materials can have important implications for spintronic and optoelectronic applications. Here, a chiral organic cation, (R/S)-4-methoxy-a-methylbenzylammonium, is incorporated to synthesize the bismuth-based hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide semiconductor, (R/S-MeOMePMA)BiI4. Thin films of this Bi-based compound demonstrate large chiroptical responses, with circular dichroism anisotropy (gCD) values up to ˜0.1, close to the highest value observed in another chiral metal-halide semiconductor, (R-MBA2CuCl4). Detailed investigation reveals that this large gCD in (R/S-MeOMePMA)BiI4 is caused by the apparent CD effect. Careful selection of deposition conditions and the concomitant thin-film orientation enables the control of gCD, with maximum value observed when its thin film has a well-crystallized preferred (001) orientation parallel to the substrate. The results support a growing body of evidence that low symmetry plays an important role in achieving unusually large gCD in these chiral metal-halide materials and provides design rules for achieving large chiroptical response via morphology control.
