Diffusion and Defect Characterization Studies of Mercury Cadmium Telluride

Abstract

During the last six month period, progress has continued on the two major areas of this program: diffusion studies in Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT); and growth studies in MCT. The diffusion studies have emphasized the question of multiple and distinct Hg profiles in self-diffusion and the Kirkendall effect for interdiffusion. The growth studies have concerned the relation between the surface morphology of epitaxial layers and the substrate orientation, the development of new Hg rich liquid phase epitaxial growth method, and a continuation of an electrochemical of thermodynamic properties of MCT and related binary compounds.
