Resonant impact ionization (RII) spectroscopy, a new technique for studying low concentrations of trap levels in narrow-gap Hg<sub>1-x</sub>Cd<sub>x</sub>Te has been used to investigate impurity and defect levels in both bulk and liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) crystals of this ternary material. Mercury interstitials, deliberately introduced into bulk samples with x approximately=0.22 and x approximately=0.24, provide direct evidence for the formation of trap levels near 45 and 61 meV above the valence band edge for these x-value samples. The 61 meV level in the x approximately=0.24 (E<sub>g</sub>=121 meV at 5 K) sample is seen to enhance the transition strength of resonant two-photon magneto-absorption (TPMA) observed at high fields by acting as a near-resonant intermediate state for the two-photon process. In the LPE material, samples which have received just a post-anneal in an Hg-saturated atmosphere show strong RII structure due to defect levels at approximately=60 meV above the valence band, whereas samples which are both doped with indium and post-annealed show only intrinsic one-photon magneto-absorption structure. |
