Recent experimental results for the viscosity of liquid CdTe exhibit disparate behavior as a function of temperature. While some measurements show the expected Arrhenius-type behavior, other measurements show an anomalous temperature dependence indicating an increase in viscosity with increasing temperature. We present ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations of liquid cadmium telluride near its melting point and use the Stokes-Einstein relation to extract values of the viscosity constant. We find no anomalous behavior; the viscosity decreases monotonically with temperature and is consistent with an Arrhenius like behavior. Although calculated values are slightly smaller than those measured, the predicted activation energy agrees well with experiment.
