Notes:
Experiments have been designed to measure the interdiffusion coefficients in CdTe/HgTe (001) superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The interdiffusion coefficients are deduced from double-crystal x-ray diffraction on samples annealed in the 200–240 °C range under a Hg saturated pressure. Our results indicate that the interdiffusion is strongly dependent on concentration with a coefficient given by D(CCd,T)=1.0 exp{[−1.45(±0.1) eV]/(kT)} exp {[−0.55 (±0.1) CCd eV]/(kT)} cm2/s. The activation energies ΔEHgTe≈1.45 eV and ΔECdTe≈2.0 eV are consistent with an interdiffusion process by a vacancy mechanism.
