Abstract

We report the molecular beam epitaxy growth of α-Sn films on argon sputter cleaned (001) CdTe substrates on which a buffer layer of CdTe has been deposited. Films thinner than 400 Å are p-type with carrier densities as high as 2×10¹⁹ cm^-3; thicker films are n-type with carrier densities of (4-10)×10¹⁷. The best film had a mobility of 1.3×10⁴ cm²/V s at 77 K.
