PYROELECTRICITY OF Cd-DOPED TELLURIDE THIN FILM.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01913396

The crystalline structure, electrical conductivity and pyroelectricity of freshly prepared Hg//0//. //7Cd//0//. //3Te thin film have been investigated in detail. In the initial heating stages, the pyroelectric current slowly falls, followed by abrupt decreases corresponding to the breaks in the curves at temperatures depending on the poling temperature, as a general trend in common. Thus 70 degree is the best poling temperature for attainment of a high generated pyroelectric current, holding up to relatively high working temperatures for the investigated HgCdTe films in the electronic and engineering industries. 13 Refs.
