Bk. Kotlyarchuk et al., PREPARATION OF CDHGTE THIN-FILMS BY LASER IMPLANTATION OF MERCURY INTO CADMIUM TELLURIDE CRYSTALS, Inorganic materials, 33(2), 1997, pp. 160-162
Laser implantation of mercury into the surface layer of cadmium tellur
ide crystals is used to produce CdHgTe thin films. Pulsed laser irradi
ation of cadmium telluride crystals brought in contact with the mercur
y melt or vapor promotes mercury diffusion to a depth of 15 mu m.
