摘要：

We studied deformation-induced defects in semi-insulating CdTe and CdZnTe by infrared photoluminescence (PL) and compared our data with earlier results. We confirmed the direct correlation between Y-emission and dislocation density in both compounds. The Y-band intensified near an indenter deformation or near a scribing line, but was barely visible in low-dislocation areas (etch pit density <2 x 10(5) cm(-2)). Plastic deformation also increased the concentrations of grown-in defects, namely, those of an important midgap level E(C)-0.74 eV in CdTe and Cd(1-x)Zn(x)Te (x < 0.1), the materials of choice in today's detector technology. Our findings demonstrate that dislocation-induced defects can degrade charge collection in radiation detectors. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
