Sa. Fedosov et al., EFFECT OF RADIATION-INDUCED DEFECTS ON THE ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF CADMIUM ANTIMONIDE SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Inorganic materials, 32(11), 1996, pp. 1166-1169
The effects of gamma (Co-60, F = 10(19) cm(-2)) and fast-neutron (F =
2 x 10(18) n/cm(2)) irradiations on the electrical and optical propert
ies of cadmium antimonide were investigated. Both types of irradiation
were found to produce donor and acceptor centers related to intrinsic
lattice defects, the generation rate being higher for donors than for
accepters. The changes in physical properties are caused in large par
t by elastic strains around defects.
