Abstract

Inelastic light scattering by optical phonons and the temperature dependent electrical conductivity, Hall constant and photosensitivity were studied in oriented CdGeAs2 crystals grown by ultra-low gradient freeze technique from near-stoichiometric melts. Observation of the clear polarization dependence of the inelastic light scattering spectra by optical phonons combined with the absence of any dependence of the intensity and frequency shift of the observed lines with mapping measurements in 300 μm steps indicated the high optical quality and homogeneity of these single crystals. It is shown that surface-barrier structures using these single crystals may be used as wide-band detectors for natural light, as well as selective photoanalyzers for linearly polarized radiation.
