Abstract

Using first principles band structure theory we have calculated (i) the alloy bowing coefficients, (ii) the alloy mixing enthalpies, and (iii) the interfacial valence band offsets for three Cd-based (CdS, CdSe, CdTe) compounds. We have also calculated defect formation energies and defect transition energy levels of Cd vacancy VCd and CuCd substitutional defect in CdS and CdTe, as well as the isovalent defect TeS in CdS. The calculated results are compared with available experimental data.
