Ek. Guseinov et Nd. Ismailov, EFFECT OF A SURFACE SPACE-CHARGE REGION ON THE PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY OF CDXHG1-XTE (X-SIMILAR-OR-EQUAL-TO-0.3), Semiconductors, 29(10), 1995, pp. 934-936
The results of an experimental study of the relaxation kinetics and ph
otoconductivity spectra of n-and p-type CdxHg1-xTe, including the effe
ct of a surface space-charge region on the photoconductivity are prese
nted. It is shown that changes in the photoconductivity of CdxHg1-xTe
in the short-wavelength region of the spectrum are due to a contributi
on from this space-charge region and to the decreased value of the sur
face mobility of charge carriers compared to the bulk mobility. (C) 19
