Magnetic, optical, and kinetic properties of Hg1 − x − yCdxGdySe crystals

详细

We have studied the physical properties of Hg_{1 − x − y}Cd_xGd_ySe crystals grown by the Bridgman method. The Hg_{1 − x − y}Cd_xGd_ySe crystals are shown to be n-type. Their Hall coefficient is temperature-independent, which points to electron gas degeneracy. The optical band gap of the crystals has been determined. The behavior of their magnetic susceptibility can be accounted for by the presence of clusters of various sizes.
