Abstract

This paper presents the nonaqueous electrodeposition and characterisation of CdxHg1-xTe films. Cyclic voltammetry and photovoltammetry were used to identify the potential for CdxHg1-xTe deposition. Film composition and structure were analysed using XPS and XRD. Compositional analysis suggests replacement of some cadmium by mercury in the CdxHg1-xTe films. Moreover, the incorporation of mercury was also found to promote preferential orientation of (111) plane. Absorbance studies indicated a decrease in band gap from 1.47 eV for CdTe to 1.40 eV for Cd0.97Hg0.03Te.
