Abstract: | We have investigated the bulk electronic structure of CdTe focusing on the Cd 5p and Te 5p valence states by X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES). Despite the very low fluorescence yields the Cd and Te M4,5 (5p → 3d3/2,5/2) spectra have been recorded successfully. A good correspondence has been found between the valence band XES and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) by comparison on a common binding energy scale. We also performed a density functional theory calculation of the CdTe valence band, obtaining the Cd 4d, 5s, 5p and Te 5s, 5p local partial densities of states. The experimental Cd 5p and Te 5p derived from the X-ray emission spectra are in good agreement with the calculation. The intensity ratio of the Cd M4,5 to the Te M4,5 spectrum is obtained to be 0.25, in agreement with the ratio of the calculated Cd 5p to the Te 5p density of states in the CdTe upper valence band (0.22). |
