Оптические свойства соединений YFe-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=- и TbFe-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-

Abstract

Ellipsometric investigation of the optical properties of YFe2 and TbFe2 intermetalic compounds have been carried out in wavelength range of 0.22 –15 μm. A number of electronic and spectral characteristic was determined. Nature of interband light absorption in these materials is discussed on base of comparative analyses of experimental and theoretical optical conductivity spectra. Experimental optical conductivities of the compounds are shown to conform qualitatively to spectra calculated from densities of electronic states in the region of quantum electron transitions.
