Abstract

Positron lifetime measurements in Cd0.2Hg0.8Te give direct evidence of the presence of monovacancies in samples annealed under Hg atmosphere. A single lifetime of pi =309 ps is detected and attributed to a monovacancy. It is proposed to be the doubly ionised mercury vacancy. Measurements in the 15-300 K temperature range show no charge state transition.
