摘要
A mechanism of formation of graded band-gap based on thermogradient effect (TGE) is proposed in Cd1-xZnx Te at irradiation by second harmonic of a Q-switched YAG:Nd laser. According to the effect, the interstitial atoms of Cd (Cd-i) in Cd1-xZnx Te move along the temperature gradient while the Cd vacancies (V-Cd) and Zn atoms-in the opposite direction, into the bulk of the semiconductor where temperature is lower. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra studied at 5 K show that concentration of Zn atoms increases due to aggregation of V-Cd with Zn after laser irradiation. Formation of a graded band-gap in Cd1-xZnx Te crystal at irradiation by second harmonica of YAG:Nd laser is shown to be possible. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
