Abstract

Compositional changes induced in growing Hg1−xCdxTe layers as a function of the changes in temperature of the indium source in the MBE chamber have been analyzed in terms of the Hg-In alloy thermodynamics and changes in the activity of indium over the growing films as the Hg flux changes. Compositional changes induced by changes in the Te source temperature have been analyzed in terms of the changes in the activity of Cd over the growing layers. These analysis are helpful in understanding the compositional changes with variation of the growth parameters in the MBE chamber.
