Abstract
We have used the data from 22 different studies to derive a new empirical expression for the energy band gap (Eg) of Hg1−xCdxTe: Eg =−0.302+1.93x+5.35(10−4)T(1−2x) −0.810x2+0.832x3. This expression is valid over the full composition range and for temperatures from 4.2 to 300 K. The standard error of estimate is 0.013 eV, which is at least 15% better than that of previously reported expressions.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
