A. Zerrai et al., RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEEP LEVELS IN VANADIUM-DOPED CDTE AND PHOTOREFRACTIVE EFFECT, Journal of crystal growth, 161(1-4), 1996, pp. 264-270
We present electro-optical characterization (by deep level transient s
pectroscopy, deep level optical spectroscopy and photo-induced current
transient spectroscopy) on vanadium doped CdTe and CdZnTe crystals pr
epared by the vertical Bridgman method for photorefractive application
s. Two main electron traps at 0.95 and 0.78 eV were detected and chara
cterized. These levels are strongly involved in the photorefractive ef
fect of CdTe doped with V, and led to distinguish two classes of cryst
als.
