Correlative study of structural and optical properties of ZnSe under severe plastic deformation
2019
The effect of plastic deformation on the optical and structural properties of ZnSe crystals has been investigated. The optical properties have been monitored by cathodoluminescence measurements as a function of the deformation degree. Remarkable differences in the defect-related emissions from the most severely deformed areas have been encountered. Deformation of the crystal lattice of ZnSe, associated with slip phenomena, has been studied by means of Electron Backscattered Diffraction and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The relation between the deformation and the optical properties of the ZnSe crystals has been described.
The polarimetric and helioseismic imager on solar orbiter
2020
This paper describes the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on the Solar Orbiter mission (SO/PHI), the first magnetograph and helioseismology instrument to observe the Sun from outside the Sun-Earth line. It is the key instrument meant to address the top-level science question: How does the solar dynamo work and drive connections between the Sun and the heliosphere? SO/PHI will also play an important role in answering the other top-level science questions of Solar Orbiter, as well as hosting the potential of a rich return in further science. SO/PHI measures the Zeeman effect and the Doppler shift in the FeI 617.3nm spectral line. To this end, the instrument carries out narrow-band imaging…
Scanning electron microscopy study of twins in ZnSe single crystals grown by solid-phase recrystallization
2001
ZnSe single crystals were grown from n-type microcrystalline boules by a solid phase recrystallization (SPR) method. During SPR, twinned regions appear with different electronic recombination properties. The recrystallizations were performed under different atmospheres, Ar or Se, and pressures to investigate the influence of growth conditions on these structural features. Recombination properties were studied by means of cathodoluminescence (CL) and remote-electron beam induced current (REBIC). Wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX) mappings were also performed to analyze possible differences in stoichiometry related to the presence of extended defects.
Cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence study of plastically deformed ZnTe bulk single crystals
2001
Samples of zinc telluride bulk single crystals, which were deformed in uniaxial compression, have been studied by photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL). As a particular feature the deformed samples present a PL emission band peaked at 603 nm, whose intensity increases as the plastic deformation does. This band is related to the density of dislocations produced during the interaction of slip systems. This hypothesis is supported by CL images. which reveal the activation of the successive slip systems corresponding to different levels of deformation.

Scanning electron microscopy characterization of ZnSe single crystals grown by solid-phase recrystallization
2000
ZnSe single crystals were grown from n-type microcrystalline boules by a Solid Phase Recrystallization (SPR) method. The recrystallizations were performed under different atmospheres, Ar or Se, and pressures to investigate the influence of growth conditions on the structural features of the resulting crystals. The samples were mechanically and mechano-chemically polished in a bromine methanol solution and, then, etched in HCl for a short time, before characterization. The homogeneity and the nature of defects in the crystals were studied by Cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). CL measurements show the existence of slip bands in the recrystallized samples, like…
