The growth interface of CdZnTe crystals grown from Te solution with the THM technique under static magnetic field was investigated by a quenching technique during crystal growth. The results indicated that the growth interface obtained with a growth rate of 4 mm/day tinder magnetic induction of 3 T was improved greatly during solidification, as was the micro-structure of CdZnTe crystals.
