The absorption response of the mixed metal solid solutions is approximately a linear combination of the characteristics of the two end members, a result that demonstrates straightforward band gap tunability in this system. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.}, year = {2010}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {96}, number = {19}, issn = {00036951}, doi = {10.1063/1.3427499}, note = {cited By 50}, language = {eng}, }
