Abstract The cadmium vacancy (VCd) and the tellurium vacancy (VTe) in CdTe are identified by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). The EPR spectrum of the singly ionised VTe reveals cubic (unpertubed) symmetry and the hyperfine structure shows that the unpaired electron is equally spread over the four Cd neighbors. Further figand hyperfine interactions with the more distant neighbors are resolved by Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR). The VCd is a double acceptor and the EPR spectrum is observed in its singly negative charge state. The symmerty is found to be trigonal, which can be explained in a model in which the hole occupies a dangling bondt 2 orbital and the orbital degeneracy is removed by a static Jahn-Teller distortion. The hyperfine interaction shows that the hole is localised on one of the four Te neighbors.
