Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Cd1 – x Zn x As2 (x = 0.03, 0.05, 0.06) single crystals are grown by the Bridgman method, and their optical absorption spectra are measured. The introduction of Zn is shown to increase the band gap of CdAs2, by up to ≃14 meV at x = 0.06. The highest content of ZnAs2 incorporated into CdAs2 is 6 mol %.
