Atomic-level Mapping of Cd0.9Zn0.1Te Crystals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The presence of precipitates in the Cd\textsubscript{0.9}Zn\textsubscript{0.1}Te (CZT) semiconductors can play a key role in shaping the performance of CZT-based detectors. These precipitates range from nanometers to tens of nanometers, as it has been extensively reported in literature using transmission electron microscopy. Herein, we introduce laser-assisted atom probe tomography (APT) to map in atom-by-atom basis the three-dimensional of CZT crystals. The investigated crystals were grown by Travelling Heater Method. APT is an ideal method to investigate the distribution and local composition of individual precipitates. Our investigations focused on both as-grown CZT crystals and post-growth annealed crystals. APT specimens were prepared using a Focus Ion Beam (FIB) with Gallium ions. The preservation of the crystal structure was verified after FIB preparation by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). First APT results show no precipitation of Tellurium or Cadmium at the nanoscale. The structural integrity of the investigated CZT crystals has therefore been confirmed showing that homogeneous CZT structure down to the sub-nanometerscale on the scale of the micrometer-sized volumes APT explores.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
