Abstract
- A modified mass loss measurement technique has been employed for the first time for the direct in situ determination of vacancy concentrations in Hg(0.8)Cd(0.2)Te at elevated temperatures. This technique can also be used to establish the pressure-temperature phase diagram for this type of system. The derived mean value for the heat of formation of mercury vacancies in the above alloy is 0.43 eV. Theoretical considerations concerning the vacancy formation in HgTe and in Hg(0.8)Cd(0.2)Te are in qualitative agreement with the experimental value.
