Abstract
A system for growing a CdZnTe crystal includes a crucible operable to contain a solid CdZnTe source and a heating element operable to melt an upper surface to the solid CdZnTe source and form a tellurium rich melt floating on the solid CdZnTe source. The crucible is operable to contain an encapsulating layer above the tellurium rich melt. The system also includes a rod operable to mechanically support a CdZnTe seed crystal.
