The thesis is dedicated to theoretical and experimental investigation of Hg1-xCdxTe epitaxial films with composition gradient and photodiodes on their basis. The values of the band gap gradient were derived from the spectra of optical transmission. The photocurrent in HgCdTe photodiodes and photoresistors prepared on epitaxial films with composition gradient is investigated. The dark current and noise spectra are investigated at zero and small reverse bias voltages in n+-p type Hg1-xCdxTe (x=0.22). The 1/f noise is shown to be correlated with the tunneling current through deep defect states in the band gap.
