The temperature dependences (T = 80 – 420 K) of the concentration of charge carriers and the Hall mobility in undoped CdTe and CdTe:Gd single crystals grown by the Bridgman method are studied. It is found that the conductivity type of CdTe:Gd crystals changes with increase in the impurity concent...
