Abstract
The results of an experimental investigation of the photoconductivity of n- and p-CdxHg1-xTe X (x=0.2-0.3) deposited on the surface of alumi num thin films are presented. The results obtained are analyzed with a llowance for the influence of the surface space-charge region and the recombination process in it. The values of the rate of surface recombi nation and the surface mobility of the charge carriers are determined from measurements of the photoconductivity and the barrier photocurren t.
