A. Baidullaeva et al., EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SURFACE-TREATMENT ON THE PHOTOELECTRIC AND OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF CDTE, Semiconductors, 31(12), 1997, pp. 1234-1236
The photoconductivity and light absorption spectra of p-type CdTe sing
le crystals subjected to different treatments have been investigated.
It is shown that the photoconductivity and edge absorption in mechanic
ally polished and plastically deformed crystals are determined by the
damaged layer. The role of dislocations in the formation of the edge a
bsorption and the photoconductivity spectrum is determined. (C) 1997 A
