Popis: The spectral and temperature dependences of photoconductivity in CdTe〈Pb〉 crystals under band-gap and combined excitation were studied at photon energies in the range 0.53–1.7 eV and temperatures from 80 to 300 K. The high photosensitivity of the crystals and the observed IR and temperature quenching of photoconductivity indicate that, just as in CdTe〈Ge〉 and CdTe〈Sn〉, the recombination processes in CdTe〈Pb〉 are dominated by deep centers with drastically different capture cross sections for electrons and holes. Some parameters of the centers are determined. The results suggest that the likely defect species responsible for the high photosensitivity of CdTe〈Pb〉 is an acceptor complex consisting of a Cd vacancy and a metal (Ge, Sn, Pb) ion on the Cd site: (V 2– CdM+)–/0.
