Charge transport characteristics of Cd 0:95 Mn 0:05 Te : In radiation detectors have been evaluated by combining time resolved current transient measurements with time of flight charge transient measurements. The shapes of the measured current pulses have been interpreted with respect to a concentration of net positive space-charge, which has resulted in an electric field gradient across the detector bulk. From the recorded current pulses the charge collection efficiency of the detector was found to approach 100%. From the evolution of the charge collection efficiency with applied bias, the electron mobility-lifetime product of n n D .8:5 ˙0:4/ 10 4 cm 2 /V has been estimated. The electron transit time was determined using both transient current technique and time of flight measurements in the bias range of 100-1900 V. From the dependence of drift velocity on applied electric field the electron mobility was found to be n D .718 ˙55) cm 2 /(V s) at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
