1-x CdxTe for x=0.165 and x=0.18. The annealing was performed in air with a Nd:YAG laser tuned to the first harmonic. A pulse duration of 72 ns and irradiation energy densities of 270 and 400 mJ/cm2 were used. Information on both the structural ordering and the alloy composition in irradiated Hg1-xCdxTe was obtained by resonance Raman spectroscopy with laser photon energies of between 2.41 and 2.54 eV. The presented Raman spectra from annealed samples indicate structural disorder and a decrease in the degree of alloying as a result of Hg outdiffusion and segregation caused by laser-induced nonequilibrium melting and solidification. Moreover, a shift of the maximum resonant enhancement for the TO2, LO2, A, and LO1&TO1 modes in the case of a Hg0.82Cd0.18Te sample, annealed by 400 mJ/cm2 laser pulse, to higher photon energy points to an increase in the composition from x=0.18 to x?0.3.
