Abstract

We have studied Raman spectra of single- and polycrystalline Pb1 − x Sn x Te (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) films on different substrates in relation to the intensity of the laser action. The composition of oxide phases on the surface of lead-tin telluride films has been described, and their modification as a result of photostimulated oxidation of the surface during measurements of spectra has been analyzed. We have shown that, for films with a small mole fraction of tin telluride (x ≤ 0.26), irrespective of the crystalline state, predominant oxidation of tellurium with the formation of the compound TeO2 takes place during the laser action. In films with a high content of tin, at a laser-action intensity higher than 1000 μW, tellurium dioxide TeO2 on the surface is replaced with tin dioxide SnO2.
