Abstract

In the present work, a CdTe alloy doped with a relatively high concentration of chromium (1%), and a CdTe:Cr layer, have been studied. Absorption and reflectivity spectra were measured at room temperature. They indicate the presence of chromium in the divalent state, both in the alloy and in the layer.
