The authors demonstrate that the regularization method due to Weese can resolve closely-spaced peaks in PICTS spectra for cadmium zinc telluride. They also show that electron and hole traps can be distinguished from each other by the bias dependence of the spectrum when using an excitation source that is primarily infrared but which contains a small component of visible light. Lastly, they show that there are qualitative differences between PICTS spectra taken with infrared excitation and those taken with visible excitation. They attribute the surface-related levels to diffusion into the detector material of gold from electroless deposition of contacts.
