Photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy was employed to grow Hg-based films, which include Hg_{1-x}Cd_{x}Te alloys, modulation-doped HgCdTe, modulation-doped HgCdTe quantum well structures and HgCdTe heterostructures. The structural, electrical and optical properties of these films were studied. A series of Hg_{1 -x}Cd_{x}Te films were deposited on lattice-matched (111)B CdZnTe substrates. The rm Hg_{1-x}Cd_{x}Te films grown under the optimum growth conditions exhibited both high structural perfections and outstanding electrical properties, which can be attributed to the role played by the photons in the growth process. For the first time, conducting p-type and n-type modulation-doped HgCdTe were successfully prepared using arsenic and indium as the p-type and n-type dopants, respectively. Most of them exhibited both excellent structural qualities and very sharp interfaces. The hole concentrations of p-type samples showed no evidence of carrier freeze-out at low temperatures. The electron concentrations of n-type samples also exhibited temperature independence up to 300K. PL measurements exhibited two peaks due to the subband transitions. Many of the modulation-doped HgCdTe superlattices samples exhibited very bright and narrow PL peaks at 4.2K. Both electron and hole mobilities of modulation-doped HgCdTe superlattices increase monotonically with decreasing temperature. The electrical properties of n-type modulation-doped HgCdTe heterostructures having spacer layers were also studied. A series of p-type HgTe-Hg_ {0.15}Cd_{0.85}Te superlattices were grown on (100) CdTe substrates by MBE for an extensive study of the optical and electrical properties of such structures. The absorption coefficient versus photon energy spectra show consecutive rises and plateaus characteristic of two-dimensional quantum structures. Temperature-dependent free carrier mobilities and densities were obtained from a mixed-conduction analysis of the Hall and resistivity data as a function of magnetic field. The experimental results were compared with theoretical tight-binding calculation of the superlattice band structure. Hg-based quantum well structures were grown on (100) CdZnTe substrates at 170^circ C. Stimulated emission at 2.8 mu m was observed for the first time in these quantum well structures where the active regions are HgCdTe. A cw Nd:YAG laser was used as an optical pumping source for the laser cavities. Stimulated emission cavity modes were seen at cw laser power densities as low as 3.4 kW/cm ^2 and at temperatures >=q 60K.
