摘要: Comprehensive study of the bulk generation-recombination mechanisms and carrier lifetime in long wavelength mid infrared indium-doped as well arsenic- mercury vacancies-doped HgCdTe ternary alloys at liquid nitrogen temperature has been done. The excess minority materials calculated by solving set non-linear transport equations under conditions small deviation from equilibrium. results numerical calculations determined Auger 1, 7, Shockley-Read-Hall related to vacancies have compared with experimental data available literature. We re-examine lifetime, including impact electrical screening on Coulomb interaction carriers process explain certain inconsistency between theoretical prediction especially highly doped p-type material. Moreover, marginal significance interband radi...
