Cd1−xMgxTe is an attractive II–VI semiconductor alloy candidate for obtaining energy gaps wider than the 1.5 eV of CdTe needed for polycrystalline thin-film tandem cells. Reaching an ideal 1.7 eV bandgap for a doublejunction tandem requires only x≈0.13, and results in only a slight perturbation of the lattice constant from CdTe. Cd1−xMgxTe can be doped either p or n type and is completely miscible...
