Abstract
We have measured at room temperature the photoacoustic spectra of Cd1-xFexTe (0<x<0.055) around the CdTe fundamental absorption threshold. We identified an absorption band at (1.38±0.01) eV, increasing with the Fe concentration, that we assigned to the 5E→3T1 transition within the Fe2+ (3d6) manifold. We observed also a broadening and a shift to higher energies of the CdTe absorption edge for increasing x.
