Abstract
Dislocations in Hg 1-xCd xTe ( $x\approx 0.2$) single crystals have been introduced either by plastic deformation or by Al-implantation at high dose. Structural analysis of implanted samples, using Huang's method shows that dislocation loops are mainly of interstitial type with a radius of about 2.6 nm. Electrical properties of uniaxially deformed samples, using Hall effect, indicate the presence of both acceptor-like type dislocations along with donor-type point defects.
