About Mercury Telluride HgTe Puffer :

Mercury telluride is a chemical compound with the formula HgTe. It belongs to the IV-VI group, the same group of compounds as germanium telluride and silver telluride.

The crystal structure of mercury telluride is similar to that of silicon and germanium, which belong to the cubic crystal system. In the crystal structure of mercury telluride, each Hg atom is surrounded by four Te atoms, forming a tetrahedral structure. This structure is different from the crystal structure of silicon and germanium because they are direct bandgap semiconductors with high light absorption coefficients and light solid response.

The electronic properties of mercury telluride are similar to those of germanium telluride and have direct band gap properties and high electron mobility. Its bandgap energy is about 0.5-0.6 eV, which is identical to that of silicon and germanium. Due to its direct band gap properties, mercury telluride has been widely used in optoelectronic devices. Mercury telluride also has potential applications in high-speed electronic devices.

In addition to its electronic properties, mercury telluride has some unique physical properties. For example, its thermoelectric properties are similar to germanium telluride, with a higher Seebeck coefficient and resistivity. This allows it to convert heat energy into electricity and has good thermal stability. In addition, mercury telluride also has some unique magnetic properties, such as magnetoresistive solid effect and magnetooptical effect.

Production Method of Mercury Telluride HgTe Puffer：

Solid phase reaction

Solid-state reaction is a standard method for preparing mercury telluride. The technique is to mix the powder of mercury and tellurium in a particular proportion and then react at high temperatures. During the reaction, atoms of mercury and tellurium diffuse with each other to form HgTe compounds. The advantages of the solid-state reaction method are a simple preparation process and low cost, which is suitable for large-scale production. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the purity of the product could be higher, and further purification is required.

Vapor deposition method

Vapor deposition is a method for preparing high-performance thin film materials. In this method, oxides or halides of mercury and tellurium are electrolyzed in an electrolyte to form HgTe compounds by electrochemical reaction. The advantage of vapor deposition is that HgTe compounds with high purity and high performance can be prepared, and the resulting products have fewer crystal structures and defects and better properties. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the preparation conditions are high, the cost is high, and it is not suitable for large-scale production.

Sol-gel method

The method is to dissolve the alkols or inorganic salts of mercury and tellurium in a solvent to form a uniform sol. Then, through heating or the action of a catalyst, the solvent in the sol evaporates to form a gel. After the gel is dried and heat treated, HgTe compounds are obtained. The advantage of the sol-gel method is that it can prepare HgTe compounds with high purity and high performance, the crystal structure and defects of the obtained products are less, and the properties are better. However, the disadvantage of this method is that it is easy to introduce impurities in the preparation process, the preparation conditions are higher, and the cost is higher.

Chemical vapor deposition

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a method for preparing high-performance thin film materials. In this method, oxides or halides of mercury and tellurium are electrolyzed in an electrolyte to form HgTe compounds by electrochemical reaction. The advantages of CVD are that HgTe compounds with high purity and high performance can be prepared, and the resulting products have fewer crystal structures and defects and better properties. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the preparation conditions are high, the cost is high, and it is not suitable for large-scale production.

Electrolytic method

Electrolysis is a method for preparing high-performance metal compounds. In this method, oxides or halides of mercury and tellurium are electrolyzed in an electrolyte to form HgTe compounds by electrochemical reaction. The advantages of electrolysis are that HgTe compounds with high purity and high performance can be prepared, and the resulting products have fewer crystal structures and defects and better properties. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the preparation conditions are high, the cost is high, and it is not suitable for large-scale production.
