Deformation potentials of some 2-6 semiconductors at K=O states
Abstract
Presented is a tight-binding calculation of the deformation potentials for three 2 to 6 compounds: CdTe, ZnTe and HgTe by very simple strain modifications of nondiagonal tight-binding parameters, which are compared with experimental values. The agreement is good for both kinds of deformation potentials: the hydrostatic one which depends on the nondiagonal matrix elements and the uniaxial one which is mainly a measure of the diagonal interactions and thus depend directly on the tight-binding parameters used.
