The problem of the additional phonon modes (APM) of the far infrared spectra in the range of 100–115 cm-1 for the Hg1-xCdxTe alloys has been discussed for the last forty years. The model of two well potential of the mercury atoms in the Hg1-xCdxTe lattice is proposed for interpretation of these APM. Analysis was performed for samples of different compositions (0.06 < x < 0.7) and different types (nand p-type) of conductivity.
