The investigation compares their crystal structure, mechanical and optical properties, and radiation detection capabilities. Both crystals can yield large-area single crystal samples measuring approximately 30 \u00d7 30 mm2. In low-temperature photoluminescence analysis, both materials showed defect states, and annealing in cadmium vapors effectively eliminated donor\u2013acceptor pair luminescence in (Cd,Mn)Te but not in (Cd,Mn)(Te,Se). Moreover, harder (Cd,Mn)(Te,Se) exhibited a higher etch pit density compared to softer (Cd,Mn)Te. X-ray diffraction examination revealed uniform lattice constant distribution in both compounds, with variations at a part per million level. (Cd,Mn)Te crystals demonstrated excellent single crystal properties with narrower omega scan widths, while (Cd,Mn)(Te,Se) exhibited a high contribution of block-like structures with significantly larger misorientation angles. Spectroscopic evaluations revealed better performance of a pixelated (Cd,Mn)Te detector, in comparison to (Cd,Mn)(Te,Se), achieving a mean full width at half maximum of 14% for the 122 keV gamma peak of Co-57. The reduced performance of the (Cd,Mn)(Te,Se) detector may be attributed to deep trap-related luminescence or block-like structures with larger misorientation angles. In conclusion, Bridgman-grown (Cd,Mn)Te emerges as a more promising material for X-ray and gamma-ray detectors when compared to (Cd,Mn)(Te,Se).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24020345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T05:21:38Z","timestamp":1704691298000},"page":"345","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Bridgman-Grown (Cd,Mn)Te and (Cd,Mn)(Te,Se): A Comparison of Suitability for X and Gamma Detectors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8986-6078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aneta","family":"Mas\u0142owska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7798-8094","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominika M.","family":"Kochanowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0008-3737","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adrian","family":"Sulich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5515-9877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaroslaw Z.","family":"Domagala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcin","family":"Dopiera\u0142a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Kocha\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4114-3767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Szot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"International Research Centre MagTop, Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Witold","family":"Chromi\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology, Wo\u0142oska 141, 02-507 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0034-2786","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej","family":"Mycielski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Puremat Technologies Sp. z o.o., Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w 32\/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2771","DOI":"10.1007\/s11664-013-2698-5","article-title":"Novel approach to surface processing for improving the efficiency of CdZnTe detectors","volume":"43","author":"Hossain","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
