Exciton Transitions in the Single Crystals of the Mixed Compounds CdBr2 - CdCl2
Normal incidence optical reflection spectra of the mixed
system CdBr2- CdC12
have been measured at liquid nitrogen
temperature in the region 4-10.5 eV. The spectral behavior
has been explained based on the energy band scheme. The
exciton bands appearing around the optical gap are interpreted
in terms of optical transitions occuring at the γ
point in the Brillouin zone. The sharp lines observed in the
deep interband energy regions are related to the Z point.
The upper valence bands are of halogen ρ-likecharacter.The
valence band of Pz - like character has a large dispersion
along Kz
