Abstract

An empirical formula for the calculation of the intrinsic optical absorption coefficient at the Kane region is derived as α= αg exp[β(E-Eg)]1/2 from the measured absorption spectra in the whole intrinsic absorption region for Hg 1-xCdxTe with different composition x from 0.170 to 0.443. The parameter β depends on composition x and temperature T, β=24-18x at 300 K and β=5.4+11x at 77 K. The calculated results from this simple empirical formula also agree well with those derived from the Kane model.
