Abstract: | Simultaneous measurements of electrical conductivity, the Hall coefficient, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ion-milled Hg1 − xCdxTe films (x ∼ 0.30 and 0.38) were performed during post-milling ageing of the films at 293 K. In the course of the PL study, a ‘relaxation’ of the blue-shift of the PL band of ion-milled Hg0.70Cd0.30Te was observed. The relaxation was caused by the decrease of the electron concentration due to gradual disintegration of defects induced by the milling. It is shown that while ion milling substantially changes the electrical properties of Hg1 - xCdxTe, its PL spectrum in the long-term is affected insignificantly. |
