This paper describes experimental and modelling results of investigations of the dynamics of accumulation and spatial distribution of electrically active radiation defects when irradiating epitaxial films of Hg 1−x Cd x Te (MCT) with different graded-band-gap layers in the surface region of the material. The films, grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE), were irradiated by B ions at room temperature in the radiation dose range 10 11 -3 × 10 15 ions cm −2 with energies 20-150 keV and ion current densities from 0.001 to 0.2 µA cm −2 . The results give the differences in implantation profiles, damage accumulation and electrical properties as a function of the variable composition of the films, the implantation energy and dose in the region of introduction of the implant. Comparison of the experimental results with various models shows good agreement. Analysis of the distribution of the electrically active defects in the irradiated material shows that the variation in the composition gradient in the implantation region does not have a marked effect on the migration of primary radiation defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
