Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Optical and Electronic Properties of Semiconductors and Transition Metal Compounds.
Abstract
The optical reflectivities of face-centered-cubic TiC, ZrC, TiN, and ZrN have been measured in the range 0.1<h bar omega<8.0eV. Subsequently, the electronic-energy-band structure for these compounds have been calculated using a modified empirical-pseudopotential method, and the structures in the reflectivities derived from these band structures show one-to-one correspondence to the structures in the experimental data; the agreement is to within 0.2eV. The charge distribution of these transition metal compounds were then calculated using the wave functions of the EPM calculations.
