Empirical pseudopotential calculations for the entire range of alloy concentrations of cubic Cd 1Ϫx Mn x Te are presented. The atomic form factors have been deduced empirically by fitting the band structure to spectroscopic data available from the literature. The pseudopotential band structures indicate optical bowing may occur in the alloy Cd 1Ϫx Mn x Te and have been used to determine the effective masses of the electron and light, and heavy holes, which for CdTe are in agreement with accepted values. The effective masses for Cd 1Ϫx Mn x Te are given for the first time, and are expressed as first-and second-order polynomials in x. The implications of these results for spectroscopic experiments are discussed.
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.
