Undoped p-CdTe bulk crystals were grown'by the vertical Bridgman method from a slightly Cd-rich meit. The crystals were characterized by x-ray diffraction and topography, capacitance-voltage and low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The compensation conditions ofThe as-grown p-CdTe monocrystalline wafers were short-time annealed i n liquid Ga to create a donor-doped layer. To distinguish t h e role of Ga. the same annealing was done in Cd vapour and in a vacuum. The PL spectra at 4.2 K over all the volume of the annealed wafers have been studied. The changes of PL lines were connected with the interaction between Ga dopant and the native structural defects and residual impurities. cm-3 were obtained for the as-grown crystals.
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.
