- The electronic properties and the optical absorption of lead iodide (PbI2) have been investigated experimentally by means of optical absorption and spectroscopic ellipsometry, and theoretically by a full-potential linear muffin-tin-orbital method. PbI2 has been recognized as a very promising detector material with a large technological applicability. Its band-gap energy as a function of temperature has also been measured by optical absorption. The temperature dependence has been fitted by two different relations, and a discussion of these fittings is given.

- The optical band gap energy and the dielectric functions of n-type 4H-SiC have been investigated experimentally by transmission spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry and theoretically by an ab initio full-potential linear muffin-tin-orbital method. We present the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric functions, resolved into the transverse and longitudinal photon moment a, and we show that the anisotropy is small in 4H-SiC. The measurements and the calculations fall closely together in a wide range of energies.

- We present a full band calculation of the doping-induced energy shifts of the conduction-band minimum and the valence-band maximum for n- and p-type GaN and AlN. Both wurtzite and zinc-blende structures have been considered. The resulting optical and reduced band-gap energies are presented as functions of the ionized impurity concentration in the heavily doped regime. The computational method is based on a zero-temperature Green's function formalism within the random phase approximation and with the local-field correction of Hubbard. The calculation goes beyond the spherical approximation of the energy bands by using energy dispersions and overlap integrals from a first-principle, full-potential band-structure calculation. Inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction is crucial for describing the uppermost valence bands properly, and we show that the nonparabolicity of the valence bands influences the energy shifts strongly, especially the shift of the optical band gap. With the full band structure, we can explain the results of photoluminescence measurements by Yoshikawa [J. Appl. Phys. 86, 4400 (1999)].
