E. Belas et al., DETERMINATION OF THE MIGRATION ENERGY OF HG INTERSTITIALS IN (HGCD)TEFROM ION MILLING EXPERIMENTS, Journal of crystal growth, 159(1-4), 1996, pp. 1117-1122
The influence of temperature on processes occurring during and after i
on beam milling with low energy Ar ions (500-1000 eV) on Hg1-xCdxTe sa
mples (x approximate to 0.2) was demonstrated. Nearly exponential depe
ndence of the depth of the p-n junction created during ion milling on
temperature in the range 77-300 K was found, Theoretical fits based on
the presented model yield a migration energy of the mercury interstit
ials of E(M) = 120 +/- 30 meV.
