Solubility of oxygen in CdS single crystals and their physicochemical properties

Аннотация

The specific features of oxygen dissolution in CdS using the example of single crystals grown by the gas-transport method with deviations from stoichiometry at 1100°C are considered. The effect of various types of intrinsic point defects in crystals of different composition on the form in the presence of oxygen is analyzed. It is shown that the most stable composition thermodynamically is that corresponding to nonstoichiometric “self-activated cadmium sulphide” stabilized with oxygen.
