Abstract

Photoconductivity of single crystal Pb1−xSnxTe〈In〉, (0.24≤x≤0.25), films at 4.2K in the wavelength region 4÷5 mm and magnetic fields up to 8 T was studied. Preparation technology of the films with high photoconductivity (PFEP ≤ 10−12 W×Hz1/2) and photoresponsiveness (τ ≤ 10−6 s), as well as the measurements procedure are described in the paper. Also the mechanism of photoconductivity is discussed.
