ABSTRACT:
Mixed II-VI crystal semiconductors (10) having the general formula Zn.sub.x Cd.sub.1-x Se, where x is up to about 0.4, are provided which exhibit persistent photoconductivity (PPC) above 70.degree. K. which is quenchable by infrared radiation. An electrical apparatus (12) utilizing the crystal (10) of the invention is also provided. An imaging apparatus (70) is further provided which includes a charge storage image device (72) having an array (82) of mixed II-VI semiconductor elements (84). A visible or an infrared image is stored in array (82) by first initializing array (82) and then exposing elements (84) to the image to be recorded.
