Abstract

The empirical pseudopotential model of the band structure provides a good interpretation of reflectivity and photoemission data. The width and separation of the valence bands are consistent with the above definition of ionicity. Absorption at the fundamental band edge and the transport properties involves extensive longitudinal phonon cooperation. Cadmium telluride has not been investigated as thoroughly as some of the other tetrahedral structures such as Si, Ge, and GaAs. However, among the wide band gap 11-VI compounds it is probably the most extensively studied. This has been due to a combination of factors: single crystals are readily available; material is both n- and p-type; the technological importance of the material is based upon single crystals rather than thin films for phosphors, etc. The resulting information on CdTe is a valuable contribution to understanding the physics of semiconductors. © 1978, Elsevier Inc.
