Infrared reAectivity spectra at 82 K for Bridgman-grown CdSe Te& crystals (x =0. 05-0.35) show the two expected transverse-optical phonon modes and an unexpected third mode. Analysis of the data, using the cluster model of Verleur and Barker, shows that these spectra represent substantial nonrandom clustering of the anions around the cations. The magnitude and x dependence of the clustering is similar to that seen in the related compound CdSe, S&, grown at the same temperature, although by a different growth method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
