Abstract
Films of Cd1–xMgxTe solid solutions have been grown by thermal evaporation of powders of CdTe-based MgTe–CdTe solid solutions in a quasi-closed system. The magnesium content of the films has been found to be lower than that of the source material used for film growth. It has been shown that the photocurrent amplitude in the Cd1–xMgxTe films as a function of incorporated CdCl2 concentration has a maximum at a particular cadmium chloride concentration, which is due to the doping of the solid solutions with chloride ions. The cadmium chloride-activated Cd1–xMgxTe films are n-type.
