Abstract

The electronic and optical properties of II-VI semiconductors: ZnSe, CdSe and their alloys Zn_xCd_1-xSe are investigated using the empirical pseudo-potential method. The energies of Γ, X and L conduction valleys of Zn_xCd_1-xSe alloy versus Zn fraction x are calculated. Band structure and density of states for Zn_0.5Cd_0.5Se are also presented. Other quantities such as the charge densities, the ionicity character, the refractive index and the transverse effective charge are also calculated.
