title: Atomistic simulations of the optical absorption of type-II CdSe/ZnTe superlattices.
abstract: We perform accurate tight binding simulations to design type-II short-period CdSe/ZnTe superlattices suited for photovoltaic applications. Absorption calculations demonstrate a very good agreement with optical results with threshold strongly depending on the chemical species near interfaces.
