摘      要：MnxCd1-xln2Te4 (x=0.1) ingot was successfully grown by the modified Bridgman technique, which applied the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) in Bridgman process, or briefly ACRT-B. The growth interface profile shape and the composition distribution in the MnxCd1-xln2Te4 (x=0.1) ingot were analyzed. Even though the stoichiometric composition was synthesized in the original ingot, the composition has been redistributed during the ACRT-B growth process. Mn and Cd contents decrease while In increases along the longitudinal axis. The partition ratios of solutes Mn, Cd and In at the growth interface are evaluated by a mathematical method based on the experimental data, which are found to be 1.286, 1.926 and 0.729 in α phase growth process, and 1.120, 1.055 and 0.985 in β phase growth process, respectively. In the radial direction, Mn and Cd contents increase while In decreases with the distance from the centerline of the ingot.
