Abstract
Absorption spectra of CdS 1- x Se x and ZnSe 1- x Te x semiconductor solid solutions have been studied at T = 2 K in the region of fundamental absorption edge for composition range (0.02 < x < 0.6). It is shown that potential fluctuations due to compositional disorder of the alloy have a strong effect on both the exciton state broadening and the band gap shift. A model for description of the exciton absorption spectra is developed. The contribution of the fluctuations to the part of the band gap shift which is nonlinear in concentration is separated from the other mechanisms.
