Electron Transitions of Cadmium Oxide.

The bands, densities of states, and spectrum of the permittivity ℇ2 of a CdO crystal have been calculated by the FP–LMTO method. The ℇ2, ℇ1, -Im ℇ-1, and Re ℇ-1 spectra for the CdO crystal in the range 1–30 eV have been obtained on the basis of the experimental spectrum of reflection. The spectra were decomposed into elementary components and their main parameters were calculated. The obtained spectrum of the transverse components was compared with the theoretical spectrum of ℇ2.
