Study of Mercuric Iodide Detectors by Pulsed Laser Induced Photoinjection Techniques

Some recent results of an investigation of carrier transport in mercuric iodide detectors, using the pulsed laser induced transient photoinjection technique are reported. These results include measurements of carrier mobilities, trapping times, and reduced mobilities, as well as some observations of polarization effects. The applicability of the transient photoinjection technique to the study of wide bandgap meterials has been substantiated.
