A. Iribarren et al., Experimental evidence of compositional mixture in CdTeO films grown by radio-frequency sputtering, J APPL PHYS, 86(8), 1999, pp. 4688-4690
An analysis of the absorption spectra of amorphous CdTeO films grown by rad
io-frequency sputtering has been carried out. The behavior and the shape of
the spectra suggest the presence of CdxTeyOz variable-composition compound
s ranging between CdTe and CdTeO with 67 at. % oxygen. We present a model b
ased on bond statistics, which describes the absorption profile behavior of
this and other materials with similar optical behavior, and models of the
composition of such films. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8
