Av. Savitskii et al., STABILIZING EFFECT OF ANNEALING ON THE ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES OF CD1-XMNXTE SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Inorganic materials, 32(8), 1996, pp. 843-845
Electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of Cd1-xMnxTe (0.1 less t
han or equal to x less than or equal to 0.3) single crystals grown by
the Bridgman technique and annealed under various conditions were inve
stigated. The annealing effect was found to depend on cooling rate. He
at treatment followed by slow cooling to 723 K (v = 1 K/h) under condi
tions preventing sample evaporation stabilizes the electrical properti
es of the material.
