Abstract:
The junction p-Cd1?xMnxTe-electrolyte is studied under monochromatic illumination for the alloy composition range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7. Optical transitions in the semiconductor are evidenced by photocurrent measurements. In the composition range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.45, the nature of the fundamental transition appears to be the same as in CdTe (valence band Γ → conduction band Γ ). For x > 0.45, the observed photocurrent p
