Abstract
Single crystal samples of PbTe doped with Hg were grown using the Bridgman method. Far infrared reflectivity spectra were measured at room temperature for samples with 0.5 at. % Hg; 0.9 at. % Hg and 1.4 at. % Hg. The plasma frequency decreased when PbTe was doped with Hg and it was lowest for the PbTe sample doped with 0.5 at. % Hg. The values of the determined optical free carrier mobility increased and was the highest for PbTe doped with 0.5 at. % Hg..
