Abstract :
Theoretical results for the refractive index 
of the ternary compounds Cdx Zn1-x Te and Hgx Zn1-x Te below the fundamental absorption edge are calculated as a function of photon energy and the mole fraction 
. The theoretical result for is obtained from a quantum mechanical calculation of the dielectric constant of a compound semiconductors. It is given in terms of basic material parameters only, with no adjustable constants. The reduction of the refractive index at the absorption edge as one increases for Cdx Zn1-x Te and for Hgx Zn1-x Te as one decreases is noticeable.
