Abstract
Experiments carried out to fabricate HgxCd(1-x)Te by diffusing mercury into CdTe slices from the vapour, resulted in obtaining slices with a maximum value of x=0.004. Measurements on the diffusion of mercury in to such slices, where 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.03, under saturated vapour pressure conditions, resulted in two comp onent profiles, each profile giving two values of D. These results wer e similar to ones obtained earlier, indicating that the diffusion was rate-limiting. In addition, the diffusivities were found to be indepen dent of x.
