Abstract
The infrared transmission spectra of single-crystal samples of n-type CdTe and n-type Cd1-xZnxTe at 295 and 77 K were investigated. The experimental d ata are analyzed under the assumption that the observed spectral dependence s of the transmission coefficient are due to absorption of infrared radiati on by free charge carriers. It is shown that the computational results agre e satisfactorily with the experimental data. The electron densities and mob ilities calculated from the transmission spectra are close to their values obtained from electric measurements. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics .
