ملخص: The electronic, optical and elastic properties of the ternary II-VI semiconductor alloys Cd1 - x Zn xTe are calculated by thesp3s * semi-empirical tight-binding theory and the bond-orbital model. We found a nonlinear decrease of the transverse effective charge and refractive index and a nonlinear increase of the bandgap and elastic constants with increasing Zn composition x. For all these behaviours, the corresponding bowing factors are predicted. The results are compared with previous theoretical estimates and experiments.
