Abstract
A comparative analytical study has been carried out on a specially doped specimen of cadmium mercury telluride using different analytical techniques in order to calibrate solid source mass spectrographic (SSMS) analyses. It has been shown that the conventional technique for standardisation of SSMS that assumes that the ionisation, transmission and collection efficiency of all elements are equal is incorrect with this matrix and can significantly over-estimate the impurity concentration. Enhancement factors for a range of elements have been determined which permit quantitative analyses to be made.
