Abstract
Far‐infrared magnetotransmission experiments were carried out on two Hg1−xCdxTe superlattices with graded composition grown by laser molecular beam epitaxy. A superlattice k⋅p model was used to calculate the subband structures of the superlattices. Good agreement is found between the experimental results and the theory if the valence‐band offset is assumed to be small.Keywords
