S ternary mixed crystals have been investigated using the first-principle plane-wave pseudopotential method. Comparison of calculations with different Cd doping concentration
the band gap shows gradually decrease with Cd doping concentration increasing. This band-narrowing phenomenon is ascribed to the reduction of bottom of conduction band determined by low energy electrons of Zn4s orbit and the elevation of top of valence band which was formed by the electrons of S3p states. Also the sulfur vacancy level was calculated and showed a shift near to the Fermi level with an increased of Cd doping concentration. The dielectric function and absorption coefficient of Zn
