Abstract

Electrical, magnetic and optical properties of Cd 1−x Mn x Te (0.1⩽x⩽0.45) single crystals grown by the Bridgman technique and annealed under various conditions were investigated. The nonstabilities of electrical properties of as-grown single crystals were revealed, caused by intrinsic ( V Cd′, V Cd″ and extrinsic defects which were able to create low-binding-energy complexes. Heat treatment followed by slow cooling to 723 K ( v=1 K/h) under conditions preventing sample evaporation stabilizes the electrical properties of the material.
