A method of scanning photodielectric spectroscopy of crystals has been suggested. It is based on the measurements of small increments of the real Δε′ and imaginary Δε″ parts of effective dielectric permittivity at a smooth variation of the photoexcitation wavelength λ. The spectral functions Δε′(λ) and Δε″(λ) are presented in a complex plane, that is, in parametric view, and their characteristic points are determined. Application of this method on Cd1−xZnxTe crystals showed a possibility of determining the energy position of the localized states generated in the forbidden zone by the intrinsic structure 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.
