Abstract
Doping superlattices ("nipi's") made of IV-VI compounds are interesting both with respect to their extraordinary physical properties and their possible applications for infrared optoelectronic devices. The properties of PbTe nipi's are reviewed with emphasis on band structure, lifetime of non-equilibrium carriers and photo-sensitivity.
