Abstract
The titanium (Ti) and vanadium (V) transition metal ions in Cd96%Zn4%Te crystals are studied by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and deep level optical spectroscopy (DLOS). Two main electron traps at 0.83 eV and 0.95 eV were detected and characterized in CdZnTe:Ti and CdZnTe:V respectively. The level at 0.95 eV is related to V and is strongly involved in the photorefractive effect in CdZnTe:V. The level located at 0.83 eV in CdZnTe:Ti sample is formally identified to the Ti2+/Ti3+ simple donor level on the basis of its σn0 photoionization cross section interpretation. These two levels are shown to be of great importance to explain the compensation mechanism in Ti or V doped CdTe related crystals
