Abstract

Solid solutions of Hg1-xCdxTe with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0 were prepared at low temperatures, where Hg pressure is about 1 atm. For the composition x < 0.7, complete reaction was observed within 72 h at 420°C. For x = 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0, minimum synthesis temperatures of 460°C, 490°C and 760°C, respectively, were needed for complete reaction. Homogeneous solid solutions of Hg1-xCdxTe, as determined by X-ray and atomic absorption analyses, were obtained after 168 h at 420°C for x < 0.7, the temperature increasing for x ≥ 0.7.
