Abstract
The electrophysical properties of Hg1− x CdxTe crystals subjected to hydrostatic pressure were studied by a noncontact method. It is shown that there exists the effect of irreversible change in the state of native lattice defects. A decrease in hole (acceptor) concentration and an increase in electron mobility are observed in the samples subjected to pressure.
