Abstract

The phenomenon of conversion of the conductivity type in p-type samples of the CdxHg1−x Te (0.28≤x≤0.55) and ZnxCdyHg1−x−y Te solid solutions bombarded by low-energy argon ions was studied. It is shown that a necessary condition for the conversion effect in CdxHg1−x Te with 0.28≤x≤0.39 is ion neutralization in the bombarding beam. The dependence of the conversion layer thickness in CdxHg1−x Te on the solid solution composition agrees with that predicted by the diffusion model of ion-bombardment-induced conversion of the conductivity type.
