The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a method for preparing cadmium telluride or cadmium zinc telluride polycrystal materials is characterized by comprising the following preparation process flows:
1) cleaning and drying the first crucible and a first cover covering the first crucible; wherein the first crucible has an annular groove along the outer peripheral wall; the top of the first cover is closed, the bottom of the first cover is opened, and the side wall of the first cover can be inserted into the annular groove;
2) weighing simple substance tellurium and simple substance cadmium according to the ratio of cadmium telluride; or weighing simple substance tellurium, simple substance cadmium and simple substance zinc according to the ratio of tellurium, zinc and cadmium;
3) putting the weighed materials into a first crucible;
4) inserting the side wall of the first cover into the annular groove, covering the first crucible, and putting a liquid sealant into the annular groove;

6) vacuumizing the interior of the synthesis furnace, and then filling inert gas with certain pressure;
7) operating a connecting rod arranged on the synthesis furnace to cover the second cover on the second crucible; wherein the second cover is in sealing fit with the second crucible;
8) firstly, heating the liquid sealant to melt the liquid sealant; then heating the first crucible to completely melt the cadmium simple substance; continuing heating to melt the elemental tellurium or the elemental tellurium and the elemental zinc in the first crucible; the molten tellurium and cadmium melt or cadmium zinc melt are subjected to chemical combination reaction to generate cadmium telluride or cadmium zinc telluride;
9) after all the elemental materials react to generate cadmium telluride or cadmium zinc telluride, heating the first crucible to enable the cadmium telluride or the cadmium zinc telluride to be in a molten state, preserving heat, and then slowly cooling to room temperature;
10) exhausting the inert gas in the synthesis furnace, operating the connecting rod to lift the second cover, and taking the first crucible out of the second crucible; and dissolving the liquid sealant in the annular groove, opening the first cover, and taking the cadmium telluride or cadmium zinc telluride crystal ingot out of the first crucible.
Preferably, in the step 3), the elemental tellurium is firstly spread at the bottom of the first crucible, and then the elemental cadmium or the elemental cadmium and the elemental zinc are spread on the elemental tellurium.
Preferably, diboron trioxide is used as the liquid sealant in the step 4). At high temperature, the boron trioxide melts into a liquid with higher viscosity, which can prevent the cadmium vapor in the first crucible from leaking.
Preferably, in the step 4), the height of the liquid after the liquid sealing agent is melted is 5-100 mm, and the height of the side wall of the annular groove is more than 1.2 times of the height of the liquid sealing agent. The liquid height of the liquid sealant after melting is too low to effectively prevent the cadmium vapor from leaking; too high a liquid level may increase the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the crucible, creating a hazard. Therefore, the height of the liquid after the liquid sealant is melted is controlled to be 5-100 mm.
Preferably, in the step 7), the second cover and the second crucible are mechanically sealed through threaded fit; or the second cover realizes mechanical sealing with the second crucible through the outer conical surface.

The pressure of the filled gas is too low, so that the loss of cadmium components caused by the volatilization of cadmium vapor can not be effectively prevented; the pressure of the filled gas is too high, the pressure resistance requirement on equipment is increased, and the equipment cost is higher. Therefore, the pressure of the inert gas is controlled to be 0.2-10 MPa.

Preferably, in the step 8), a temperature gradient is formed in the first crucible along the horizontal direction, the temperature gradient is 0.5-15 ℃/cm, and the elemental tellurium or the elemental tellurium and the elemental zinc in the first crucible are gradually melted from one end to the other end. The tellurium melt reacts with the cadmium melt or the cadmium-zinc melt to generate cadmium telluride or cadmium-zinc telluride, heat can be generated in the chemical combination reaction process, and the heat can be used for heating unmelted tellurium simple substance or tellurium simple substance and zinc simple substance, so that energy is saved; and the first crucible keeps horizontal temperature gradient and continues to be heated, so that the tellurium simple substance or the tellurium simple substance and the zinc simple substance in the first crucible are gradually melted from one end of the crucible to the other end of the crucible.
Preferably, in the step 9), after all the elemental materials react to generate cadmium telluride or cadmium zinc telluride, the temperature of the first crucible is increased to 1092-1300 ℃, and the temperature is kept for 0.1-100 h.
Preferably, the first crucible and the first cover are made of quartz, and the second crucible and the second cover are made of graphite; and in the step 1), after the first crucible is cleaned and dried, putting the first crucible into a carbon plating furnace, and plating a layer of carbon film on the inner surface of the first crucible.
