Description
The photoconductivity spectrum of the magnetic semiconductor Cd/sub 1-x/Mn/sub x/Te has been studied at 300 K for various compositions of Mn. It has been found that this system is photosensitive and shows a remarkably sharp peak in the photoresponse curve for each composition. The half-widths for some of them are as small as 100 A. Spectral position varies from 0.68 to 0.49 μ as X varies form 0.3 to 0.7. The sharp photoresponse suggests that Cd/sub 1-x/Mn/sub x/Te is a potential candidate as a narrow-band detector in the visible range
