Abstract

The electrical and optical properties of epitaxial CdHgTe films grown on silicon substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy have been studied. The results of photoluminescence measurements are indicative of the high structural perfection of the films, and Hall data combined with low-energy ion treatment point to a low concentration of residual donors (∼5 × 1014 cm−3). Acceptor states supposedly related to the capture of impurities at structural defects typical of strongly lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxial structures are found in the films.
