The main characteristics of infrared photodetectors on base of p-type mercury-cadmium-telluride epitaxial films are mainly governed by recombination and diffusion parameters of minor charge carriers. The investigation of excess charge carriers behavior in epitaxial films placed in stationary crossed electrical and magnetic fields is allows determining of this parameters. This paper reviews of such photoelecromagnetic methods for investigation of excess charge carriers’ recombination and diffusion properties as methods of photomagnetic effects and photoconductivity in magnetic fields for Voight and Faradey geometry.

Keywords:
narrow-gap semiconductors, epitaxial films, photoelectromagnetics methods, recombination parameters.
