Abstract: The receptivity, conductive type, Hall mobility and photoluminescence (PL) of semimagnetic semiconductor (SMSC) Cd_1-xMn_xTe crystal films grown from Te-ricb solution were measured. All these results showed that the quality and stability of crystal films grown were better than Cd_1-xMn_xTe bulk crystal grown by Bridgeman technique. The cause of absorptive edge existing within 0.85~1.5 μm range in infrared transmittance spectrum was investigated based on the viewpoint that the first excited state (⁴T₁) of Mn²⁺3d in tetrahedral crystal field appeared in the bandgap of Cd_1-xMn_xTe crystal.

Key words: Semimagnetic semiconductor, CdMnTe, Solution growth, Pbotolu minescence
