Abstract

This paper reports on the results of precision investigations into the crystal structure of zinc diphosphide and cadmium diphosphide single crystals. The complete sets of fundamental optical functions are calculated for both crystals in the range 2.2–5.3 eV. The dielectric function is resolved into components for the first time. Three basic parameters of the oscillators are determined, and the electronic structures of ZnP2 and CdP2 are compared.
