Single crystals of Cd_{1-x}Co_xTe and Cd_{1-x-y}Co_xMn_yTe are characterized with X-ray powder diffraction and electron microprobe to establish compositional dependence of the lattice parameters and deduce Co solubility limit. The experimental compositional profiles are examined on specimens taken from various locations of ingots along their longitudinal axes and compared with normal freezing distributions. The values of Co segregation coefficient are analyzed for both ternary and quaternary alloys in terms of normal freezing mode.
