摘要
Structural, electronic and optical properties as well as structural phase transitions of ternary alloy CdxZn1-xS have been investigated using the first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. We found that the crystal structure of CdxZn1-xS alloys transforms from wurtzite to zinc blende as Cd content of x = 0.83. Effect of Cd content on electronic structures of CdxZn1-xS alloys has been studied. The bandgaps of CdxZn1-xS alloys with wurtzite and zinc blende structures decrease with the increase of Cd content. Furthermore, dielectric constant and absorption coefficient also have been discussed in detail. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
