The electro-physical properties of Cd0.96Mn0.04Te0.96Se0.04 n-type conductivity single crystals with relatively low resistivity were studied. The determined resistivity of semiconductor single crystals Cd0.96Mn0.04Te0.96Se0.04 n-type conductivity is equal to ρ≈2 Ω-cm at 293K. The activation energy of dark conductivity, measured from the temperature dependence of the resistivity of the In/Cd0.96Mn0.04Te0.96Se0.04/In structure, is equal to ΔE≈0.11eV. From optical measurements of the absorption coefficient from the energy of photons in the region of large α, the band-gap width of the single crystal was found, which is equal to Eg=1.53eV. Diode structures of Ni/Cd0.96Mn0.04Te0.96Se0.04/In obtained by vacuum sputtering of Ni on the surface of a single crystal n-Cd0.96Mn0.04Te0.96Se0.04 were manufactured and studied. The rectification coefficient at a voltage of U=1V is equal to 108. Within the framework of the Sah-Noys-Shockley carrier generation-recombination model, a quantitative match of the experimental measurements of the volt-ampere characteristics with the calculation was achieved.
