Abstract

Radiation defects in PbTe single crystals and epitaxial films induced by ion implantation of various impurities amounting to as much as 2·104 μC/cm2 have been investigated. It has been found that the formation of point defects (for the most part, Te vacancies) running as deep as 3 μm and more determine transport properties due to the stabilization of electron concentration at a level of 2÷4·1018 cm-3. The data are interpreted based on the model of the quasi-local (doublet) energy level of Te vacancies in the PbTe conduction band. The formation of solid solutions accompanied by the increase of band gap was detected in PbTe thin layers implanted with Zn.
