Cd 1-x Mn x e/Cd y Hg 1-y Te heterostructures: structure and optical properties

Unstable mixing regions in CdMnHgTe and ZnMnHgTe solid solutions

“…Fig. 1 also presents experimental points from different papers [2,3,5,6,18,19] obtained from epitaxial layers deposition by LPE, MBE and MOVPE techniques, demonstrating good agreement with the calculations, i.e. no experimental points fall in the thermodynamic instability region at the epitaxy temperature.…”

“…Then, ε xx = ε yy for the deformations in the film plane, and the normal z-component of the strain tensor may be written for cubic crystal as τ z = C 12 ε xx + C 12 ε yy + C 11 ε zz (5) where C 11 and C 12 are the elastic constants of the film. Taking into account that τ z = 0 for a free (growth-related) direction of the film, relation (5) yields…”

“…However, the recent achievements in this field [3][4][5] opened new prospects for its production and application. Moreover, it is worth noting the growing interest in such fundamental characteristics as electronic band structure [6], transport [4], magnetic [7], optical [5] properties of above specified materials.…”
