Ai. Vlasenko et Av. Lyubchenko, EXTRACTION OF MINORITY-CARRIERS IN PHOTORESISTIVE CDXHG1-XTE CRYSTALSWITH VARIOUS CONDUCTIVITIES, Semiconductors, 28(7), 1994, pp. 695-696
The extraction of minority charge carriers has been studied in CdxHg1-
xTe crystals with x similar or equal to 0.21-0.22 with n-type, p-type,
and mixed conductivities. A simple relation is found for analyzing th
e effect. Experimental values of the lifetime and of the electric fiel
d at which the extraction begins are used to calculate the ambipolar m
obility, which characterizes the mobility of minority carriers in n- a
nd p-type crystals.
