Abstract

New experimental data on the charge transport in p-n junctions based on Hg1−x MnxTe (x≈0.11) are reported. The experimental I-V characteristics are interpreted in terms of the Sah-Noyce-Shockley theory with allowance made for special features of recombination of the charge carriers in a narrow-gap semiconductor.
