The Influence of Oxygen Substitution on the Optoelectronic Properties of ZnTe by Imad Khan, Sajid Khan, Javid Iqbal, H. A. Rahnamaye Aliabad, Zahid Ali, Iftikhar Ahmad

“…The ZnOTe alloy is highly lattice mismatched and consequently the lattice constants and bulk moduli largely deviate from the linear behavior. The calculated bandgaps are in agreement with the experimentally measured values, where the nature of bandgaps is direct for the whole range of x except at x=0.25. …”
