Abstract
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.
