Measurement of Characteristic Positron Annihilation Lifetime in HgCdTe
- Received Date: 1993-04-23
Abstract: A new measurement method of characteristic lifetime of positron annihilation in mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) in thermoequilibrium with mercury vapor was proposed. A result of τb the annihilation lifetime of positrons in bulk state in HgCdTe, being 277±lps,and τb, the lifetime of positrons trapped in mercury vacancies,being 306±2ps was obtained. The result was discussed and compared with that from other methods.
