A brief review of different aspects of In atoms in the CdTe lattice behavio
r, necessary for scientific preparation of radiation-sensitive material is
presented. Data concerning the CdTe-In T-x phase diagram, In segregation, d
iffusion and solubility as function of stoichiometric relations in CdTe and
temperature are included. Low- and high-temperature electrical measurement
s results are discussed in the framework of compensation phenomena. A short
review concerning the manufacture of In-doped CdTe crystals as well as the
ir practical use is included. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res
