The electrophysical properties of Hg1-xCdxTe crystals subjected to hydrosta
tic pressure were studied by a noncontact method. It is shown that there ex
ists the effect of irreversible change in the state of native lattice defec
ts. A decrease in hole (acceptor) concentration and an increase in electron
mobility are observed in the samples subjected to pressure. (C) 2000 MAIK
