Growth of epitaxial thin films of sphalerite and wurtzite CdSe on cleaved BaF 2 substrates is reported. Optical transmission measurements to 6.5 eV in the ultraviolet at 300 and 80 °K were made. The spin‐orbit splitting of the A 3 ‐;A 1 transitions in cubic CdSe is 0.26 eV, in close agreement with seemingly spin‐orbit split transitions of 0.28 eV in the hexagonal phase, attributed to transitions along the Δ‐axis (the c ‐axis of the hexagonal Brillouin zone). Our findings substantiate this identification. Other optical structure is reinterpreted based on our measurements and some recent band calculations of wurtzite compounds. A band structure for wurtzite CdSe is proposed.
