Description

The Hall effect and electrical conductivity in the range of 310–420 K as well as room-temperature optical transmission of semi-insulating p-type CdTe:Cl crystals grown by the modified physical vapor transport method have been investigated. An anomalous change of their electrical parameters and mid IR-transmittance in consequence of low-temperature short-time annealing and also a non-typical temperature dependence of hole Hall mobility have been observed. The observed peculiarities are explained by inhomogeneous spatial dopant distribution within the crystals followed by the formation of chlorine-involved clusters, precipitates and inclusions that are modified during heating
