  • Abstract
    This paper reviews some of the progress obtained in the understanding of defects in detector grade cadmium zinc telluride material (CZT). Several techniques have been utilized to elucidate some of the issues related to compositional uniformity, effects of precipitates, grain boundaries, and surface defects related to mechanical and chemical treatments. In few cases, special mapping capabilities had to be developed to allow correlations with detector performance.
