To ascertain the physio-chemical nature of the donor-acceptor complex formed in the double doping of InSb by cadmium and selenium, the authors prepared a series of alloys of InSb with Cd and Se. After experimental investigation of these alloys and mathematical analysis of the process, they conclude that the donor-acceptor interaction between the impurity atoms manifested itself in the form of special points on the compositionmicrohardness diagrams for isoconcentration sections of solutions based on InSb in the InSb-Cd-Se system. The special features of the variation in the microhardness made it possible to calculate the equilibrium constant for the donor-acceptor interaction and the bonding energy in the complex.
