  title = {Auger recombination dynamics in highly excited HgCdTe},
  abstract = {We present quantitative experimental and theoretical results of Auger recombination in highly excited Hg0.795Cd0.205Te. The first direct measurement of carrier density dependence of the recombination processes has been made on a picosecond timescale, with the pump-probe technique using a free-electron laser. Over the excited carrier density range (5 x 10(16) to 3 x 10(17) cm(-3)) and at temperatures from 50 to 295 K studied experimentally, contributions from Auger, Shockley-Read-Hall and radiative recombination mechanisms were calculated. The Auger recombination rates were evaluated using a compact analytic form, with carrier degeneracy included, which has been shown to agree closely with more accurate calculations. Excellent agreement was obtained, with Auger-l dominant at all temperatures, and significantly for T > 225 K when the sample is intrinsic, the Auger-7 contribution was found to be important.},
