Abstract
The energy spectra of the mercury vacancy, the most common acceptor in HgCdTe material, is studied via numerical calculations and low temperature photoconductivity (PC) measurements of 'vacancy-doped' HgCdTe films with low cadmium content. Since the Hg vacancy is known to be a double acceptor, the model for the helium atom was adopted for degerate valence band of zinc blende semiconductors to classify the observed PC bands. This approach provides a fairly good description of the photoionization of both neutral and singly-ionized vacancy when the central cell potential is taken into account.
