Diffusion and Defect Characterization of Mercury Cadmium Telluride

Abstract

The diffusion studies in the present report period have emphasized the experimental determination of interdiffusion at lower temperatures (< 450 C) and the modeling of the defect chemistry of Mercury Cadmium Telluride in order to explain both interdiffusion results and the electrical behavior of MCT. In addition, there is continuing progress on the tracer diffusion studies in MCT. In the crystal growth portion of the program, most of the effort has been devoted to the analysis of previous work. Thishas resulted in the submission of four papers to Journals for review. Work continues on the experimental study of isothermal liquid phase epitaxy (ISOLPE) and on electrochemical studies.
