Sp. Russo et al., LIGHT-ION INDUCED DAMAGE IN CDTE AND HG(1-X)CD(X)TE EPITAXIAL THIN-FILMS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 113(1-4), 1996, pp. 218-222
The effect of variation of MCT stoichiometry (x) on the damage induced
by 2 MeV He ions has been measured by the comparison of damage accumu
lation in Hg0.48Cd0.52Te (MCT, x = 0.52) and CdTe (MCT, x = 1). The co
mparison of damage induced by irradiation in the random and channeled
directions for MCT (x = 0.52) by 2 MeV He ions has also been measured.
The results extend earlier work on light ion damage induced in MCT ep
itaxial thin films.
