Abstract
Reports results of examinations of photoelectric processes appearing due to growth of dislocations and defects formed by mechanical effects in Hg1-xCdxTe crystals. Energy levels of these defects are calculated. It is also shown that in plastic deformed n-Hg1-xCdxTe crystals, charge carrier current and recombination properties are determined by the channels of higher electron concentration with energy gap close to the position of injected defects (~52 meV). It is demonstrated that in p-Hg1-xCdx Te crystals the concentration of acceptor levels increases simultaneously with the formation of dislocations; the type of minority charge carriers can be changed by the acceptor levels
