Abstract
Electrical properties and the ESR of Pb1-xSnxSe single-crystal samples (0 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 0.24), both undoped and doped with manganese and europium, have been studied. In the trans mission region (homegaBAR < E(g)) the laser light changes the carrier density and mobility. It also changes the distribution of intrinsic an d extrinsic components among lattice sites. The donor level in the ban d gap (E(d) = -0.05 eV), which is manifested in the illuminated crysta ls, does not depend on the type of dopant. It belongs to intrinsic def ects.
