We report new measurement of the above-bandgap optical properties of zincbl
end Cd0.57Mg0.43Te ternary alloy film. These differ from previous data on b
ulk alloys, in that the present <epsilon(2)> values are much lower and high
er near E-0 fundamental edge and E-2-peak, respectively, indicating that th
e present spectra are closer to the true bulk dielectric function of this a
lloy. Energy derivative spectrum calculated numerically from this data also
show better-resolved structure in the E-2-peak region.
