Description

The Cd1-xMgxSe crystals were grown by modified Bridgman method for x ranging from 0 to 0.44. The photoacoustic spectroscopy was employed for evaluation of the band gaps of series Cd1-xMgxSe mixed crystals with different composition. The photoacoustic spectra were measured at 300 K and 90 K using continuous wave excitation in the range from 400 nm to 800 nm. The increase in the band-gap energy with increasing Mg content is observed. The photoacoustic results are compared with photoluminescence and transmission spectra. (author)
