- 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.

Cubic TiO2 as a potential light absorber in solar-energy conversion
- 2004

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Materials are currently sought for use in the photo-induced decomposition of water on crystalline electrodes. Titanium dioxide is valuable in this respect. The electronic structural properties of cubic TiO2 polymorphs were investigated by means of first-principles methods. We demonstrate that both fluorite- and pyrite-type TiO2 have important optical absorptive transitions in the region of the visible light. A cubic TiO2 phase that can efficiently absorb the sunlight would be an important candidate material for the development of the solar cells. Also, we present results on the Ti L edges for the two different titania forms. We predict that a qualitative spectroscopic discrimination of the cubic polymorphs can be achieved by following the Ti 2p → 3d x-ray transitions.
