CdZnTe (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) ingots were obtained by Bridgman's method using two different speeds in order to find the optimal conditions for single-crystalline growth. Crystalline quality was studied by chemical etching, the elemental composition by wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS), tellurium (Te) precipitates/inclusions concentration by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical transmission by Fourier transformed infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and band gap energy (Egap) by photoluminescence (PL).

Article Synopsis
  • Melanoma is increasingly common worldwide, with a significant rise in incidence and a high risk of severe metastases, including rare cases to skeletal muscles like the rectus abdominis.
  • A case study discusses a 35-year-old woman who developed a rare muscle metastasis after initial treatment for melanoma, leading to her undergoing a radical surgical procedure.
  • Surgery remains the primary option for potentially curing isolated muscle metastases in advanced melanoma cases, emphasizing the need for complete resection to improve patient outcomes.
