تاثير عنصر الايتيربيوم في البنية القطاعية للبلوراتCdTe

The reflectivity spectra of CdTe and Cd0.96Yb0.04Te crystals have been investigated in the 1-6eV energy range at room temperature. The observed changes in the shapes of the spectra, caused by the presence of ytterbium Yb, have been compared with the calculated band structure of binary compound CdTe available in the literature. The band structure in some regions seems to be sensitive to the presence of Yb ions. The introduction of Yb to band structure of CdTe material leads to the appearance a new maximum near 2eV. The intra-atomic transitions, due to ytterbium introduced as an impurity to the CdTe crystal, in the Cd0.96Yb0.04Te material were also discussed
