South Korean engineers have developed a "large" single crystal compound material that can be used to make next generation sensors and solar fuel cells, the government said Wednesday. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) team led by Ha Jang-ho successfully fabricated the single crystal material made from cadmium, zinc and tellurium (CZT) to a diameter of two inches, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology said.

* The successful development makes South Korea the sixth country in the world after France, the United States, Britain, Canada, Israel to make such a hi-tech material.

* Global demand for the CZT compound is on the rise since it can be used to make radiation sensors to detect cancer growth, space telescopes, and solar energy cells.
