The configuration-coordinate diagram was constructed for deep relaxed In impurities in Zn{sub {ital x}}Cd{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Te. On the basis of the Hall effect, deep-level transient spectroscopy, photoionization, and photoluminescence measurements it was shown that In donors in Zn{sub {ital x}}Cd{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Te possess analogous properties to the so-called {ital DX} center in Al{sub {ital x}}Ga{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}As. The absence of paramagnetic resonance from In donors suggests that In atoms form a mixture of In{sup +} and In{sup 3+} ions, in equal numbers. A persistent photo-EPR signal from mobile photoelectrons was observed after illumination at {ital g}=1.316 and could be thermally annealed. A strong broad, donor-acceptor-pair luminescence was found, with periodically spaced phonon lines at high excitation powers.
