Manuscript received 03.12.04; accepted for publication 18.05.05. 1. Introduction Solid solutions Hg1–xCdxTe offer a number of unique physical and electrooptical properties making such materials attractive for development of IR detectors. However, their wide use is prevented by the instability of this material. It was theoretically shown by Sher [1] that this instability is caused by rather large differences between the atomic radii of Cd and Hg. Hence, material stability should increase with introduction of Mn or Zn, since their atomic radii are closer to that of Hg. Despite the promising character of such materials as Hg1–х–yCdxMnyTe and Hg1–x–zCdxZnzTe, their basic parameters due to the difficulty of obtaining pure and high-quality crystals are not adequately studied. First of all, it is true for the energy gap, intrinsic carrier concentration and effective mass of electrons. Even to a greater extent, it refers to Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe, as long as this is absolutely new material for which the above parameters are unknown at all. All this is related in full measure to charge carrier scattering mechanisms, as well as to impurity states in crystals. 2. Theoretical calculations The basic band parameters of multicomponent solid solutions can be calculated using the method proposed by S. Williams [2], where the initial solution is regarded as a combination of three ternary solutions. But as long as this procedure is rather awkward and does not yield even empirical relationships, we have used a simpler calculation method [3]. The essence of this method is that multicomponent material is represented as a combination of two simpler materials. Using this procedure, the formula for energy band, for example, of Hg1–х–yCdxMnyTe, will be as follows: Eg(Hg1–x–yCdxMnyTe)=0.5Eg(Hg1–2хCd2хTe) + + 0.5Eg(Hg1–2yMn2yTe), (1) and the energy gap of Hg1–x–zCdxZnzTe can be calculated: Eg(Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe) = = 0.5Eg(Hg1–x–2yCdxMn2yTe) + + 0.5Eg(Hg1–x–2zCdxZn2zTe). (2) Using the empirical formulae of the energy gap for HgCdTe [4], HgZnTe [5], and HgMnTe [6], we get for HgCdMnTe: Eg(x,y,T) = –0.302 + 5.125⋅10–4T – –(x + 2.287y)⋅10–3T + 1.93(x + 2.197y) – –1.62(x2 + 2.728y2) + 0.272(12.235x3–y3), (3) and for HgCdZnTe: Eg(x,y,T) = –0.301 + 1.93x + 2.291⋅10–2y1/2 + + 2.731y – 1.62x2 + 5.35⋅10–4T (1 – 2x – 0.35y1/2 – – 1.28y) + 3.328x3 – 1.248y2 + 2.132y3, (4) and for Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe: Eg(x,y,z,T) = –0.289 + 1.93(x + 1.96y + 1.415z) + + 4·10–4T(1 – 2.675x – 0.504z0.5 – 1.709z – 7.013y) – –1.62(x2 + 1.553z2) + 3.328(x3 + 2.563z3). (5) Calculated by the formulae (3 – 5), the energy gaps of multicomponent semiconductor solid solutions showed a good agreement with the experimental data (see Table 1). The energy gap of Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe samples was determined from the optical transmission curves. As can be seen from the table, the empirical © 2005, V.

P. 30-35. formulae (2)–(4) describe well the experimental data for all investigated materials at various temperatures. Based on the results obtained, the intrinsic carrier concentration, the Fermi level position and the effective mass of electrons for materials under study were calculated. The calculations followed the procedure described in [6]. Counting the energy from the bottom of conduction band, for electron concentration in conduction band in conformity with the Kane model [9] it can be written: ∫ ∞ η−+ Φ+Φ+ π = 0 2/12/1 )exp(1 )/21()/1(2 z dzzzzNn c , (6) where Nc is effective density of states in conduction band, Φ = Eg / kBT is the reduced energy gap, η =F / kBT is the reduced Fermi energy. In this case, the effective mass of electrons near the bottom of the conduction band is described by the expression: . )( 3/2 1 1 0 * − ⎥ ⎥ ⎦ ⎤ ⎢ ⎢ ⎣ ⎡ Δ+ Δ+ += gg g Pe EE E Emm (7) Here, EP=2m0P2/ħ2, Δ is the value of the spin-orbit splitting of bands.

Effective mass of electrons in Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe, calculated by the formula (4). Fig. 3. Electron effective mass of totally degenerated HgCdMnTe vs composition. The comparison of the intrinsic carrier concentration calculated by the formula (6) with the experimental data (see Fig. 1) shows that in all three cases, there is a good agreement with the experiment in the temperature range 50 to 350 K within a wide composition range. The effective mass of electrons calculated by the formula (4) follows a linear law in the entire temperature range (Fig. 2). The effective mass of electrons in the case of full degeneracy was calculated as follows [9]: ,1027.8 105.32 1 23/230 4232 2 * * Pn PE m m i g e e − − ⋅+ +⋅=⎟ ⎟ ⎠ ⎞ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ ⎛ − (10) where Р is the matrix element of the angular momentum operator. The value Р for Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe was calculated by the same algorithm as the energy gap. Fig. 3 shows the results of calculation of the effective mass of electrons in the completely degenerated case for Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe. It can be seen that, in the range of compositions that are of practical interest (the right- hand side of the plot), the effective mass is also almost linear. Similar results in the calculation of effective masses are also obtained for other semiconductor solid solutions studied. 3. Research on kinetic coefficients As regard to the above research on the band parameters, we have also calculated mobility, conductivity and Hall coefficient in semiconductor solid solutions Hg1-x-y-zAxByCzTe and made a comparison with the experimental data. The expressions for charge carrier relaxation times restricted due to scattering by ionized impurities, polar optical phonons, acoustic phonons and disorder potential, respectively, have the form [10]: к к FNе i ∂ ε∂ π χ =τ 2 im 4 2 im 2 h , (11) кТFке ∂ ε∂χ =τ ∗ op0 2op 2 h , (12) ккТFкЕ ∂ ε∂πρυ =τ 2 ac0 2 2 // ac 1h , (13) ккWF N ∂ ε∂π =τ 2 dis 0 dis 1h , (14) where χ = χs + χ∞ is the sum of static and high-frequency dielectric constants of material; χ* = χsχ∞ / (χs – χ∞); Ni is the concentration of ionized impurities; N0 is the number of atoms in the volume unit; ρ is the specific density of material; υ// is the rate of propagation of longitudinal acoustic waves; Е is the deformation potential constant; W is a function that depends on the solid solution composition and the alloy potential of scattering that in the first approximation is equal to the difference in crystal sublattice energy gaps; Fim, Fop, Fac, Fdis are the functions that take into account the shielding of scattering center potential by free carriers and contain the Bloch multipliers taking into account the nonparabolicity of the material band structure. © 2005, V.

Conduction electron mobilities at various scattering mechanisms as a function of temperature in the sample Hg0.9Mn0.1Te with impurity concentrations: Na = 5·1015 сm–3, Nd = 1·1015 сm–3. (1 – ionized impurities, 2 – polar optical phonons, 3 – acoustic phonons, 4 – alloy potential, 5 – total mobility). Fig. 5. Temperature dependence of the mobility: 1 – Hg1–xMnxTe (x = 0,091; Na = 2·1016 сm–3); 2 – Hg1–x–yCdxMnyTe (x = 0.1; y = 0.027; Na = 3·1015 сm–3); 3 – Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe (x = 0.14; y = 0.014; z = 0.01; Na = 6·1015 сm–3). For all samples it is assumed that Nd = 1015 сm–3. Fig. 4 shows the temperature dependence of the mobility calculated in accord with (8)–(11). As can be seen from the figure, the greatest contribution to mobility formation in the temperature range of 80 to 300 K is made by scattering by polar optical phonons and ionized impurities. Scattering by the alloy potential and acoustic phonons is of little significance under these conditions, which is consistent with the papers [11, 12]. Therefore, our subsequent discussion will be restricted by two scattering mechanisms mentioned above. The results of mobility calculation under these conditions as compared to the experiment ones are shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen that, with the selected calculation parameters, the results are in a good agreement with the experimental data, which confirms the correctness of assumptions made both with respect to band parameters and the dominating scattering mechanisms. Fig. 6 shows calculated temperature dependences of conductivity and the Hall constant for several Hg1-x-zCdxZnzTe samples as compared with the experimental data. One should note a rather high degree of coincidence between the theoretical and experimental data. Table 3 lists the values of parameters that were used in the calculation of theoretical dependences. The concentration of donor impurities was assumed to be equal to 1015 сm–3. Table 3 gives shows the parameters of the samples of new five-component semiconductor solid solution Hg1–x–zCdxZnzTe, studied by modeling the kinetic and band parameters. As can be seen, all the parameters of these samples: energy gap, acceptor concentration, impurity activation energy, are within the same range as that of better studied 3-4 component semiconductors of the same type: HgCdTe, HgMnTe, HgCdMnTe. The samples that were made of the first ingot of this material (the numbers begin with 1) in general have a lower concentration of manganese and zinc, and, hence, a narrower energy gap. The samples from the second ingot have a wider energy gap. As is evident from Fig. 6, exactly these samples (2.1.1 and 2.1.6) demonstrate a change in the Hall coefficient sign at sufficiently high temperatures (200…230 K), which testifies to a wider energy gap and smaller concentration of intrinsic carriers. 1.3.3 sample is the most narrow-gap. It was cut from the crystal “tail” and have the highest acceptor concentration. Table 3. Parameters of Hg1–x–y–zCdxMnyZnzTe crystals.

The acceptor activation energy was obtained with the assumption that we deal with one acceptor level located not far from the valence band top and one donor level that we consider to be fully ionized at any temperature. As we see, the resulting values of the activation energy are within 2…15 meV, which is typical for this class of semiconductors. 4. Conclusions Thus, on the basis of the research performed, the following conclusions can be derived: the method for calculation of the basic band parameters of multicomponent solid solutions of HgCdTe type has been proposed. 1. The empirical formulae have been proposed for the calculation of the energy gap and intrinsic carrier concentration that are of the similar form for HgCdMnTe, HgCdZnTe, as well as HgCdMnZnTe – a new five-component solid solution and differ only in coefficients. 2. The effective mechanisms of charge carrier scattering in multicomponent semiconductors of HgCdTe type have been studied. It was shown that the main contribution to formation of the temperature dependence of the mobility is made by the carrier scattering caused by polar optical phonons and ionized impurities. 3. Temperature dependences of the Hall constant and conductivity in HgCdMnZnTe crystals of various composition have been calculated. The results of theoretical calculations are in a good agreement with the experimental data. 4. From the closest agreement between the theoretical and experimental curves, the activation energy and acceptor impurity concentration have been determined. © 2005, V.
