  The transport and thermal properties of HgTe colloidal quantum dot films with
cut-off wavelengths in the mid-IR are investigated. The cut-off wavelength of
this material can be tuned over the 3-5 \mu m range, which makes it a promising
alternative to existing high cost detectors. Post deposition processes such as
ligand exchange and atomic layer deposition are investigated as a way to
increase the carrier mobility.
