Mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) is the main material for infra-red detectors in both military and, increasingly, civilian applications such as surveillance and in space. This book fully updates a previous EMIS volume (1987) with new sections on growth and device aspects. In addition, it contains datareviews for a range of cadmium-based materials used both with MTC and independently for solar cells, optoelectric components and X-ray detectors. Areas reviewed for both HgCdTe and for CdTe/CdZnTe/CdSeTe used as substrates: bulk and epitaxial growth, mechanical, thermal, dielectric and optical properties, diffusion of impurities and matrix elements, defects and annealing, band structure, carrier properties, surfaces and interfaces, exploitation in detector and emission devices.
