Abstract
This study reports an analysis of the IR reflectance and Raman spectra of Cd x Zn(1 - x)P2 solid solutions. We have analyzed the effect of the doping of the CdP2 single crystal by the ZnP2 nanoclusters on the vibrational properties of studied samples: ε 0, ε inf, phonon frequencies, and strengths. These dependencies might be used as an alternative non-destructive way for the control of the Cd x Zn(1 - x)P2 composition. The obtained results show that variation of the concentration of ZnP2 nanoclusters opens a space to design the tailored material properties for the industrial applications.
