Abstract
The absorption spectrum of a material reveals the absorbed light frequencies, characteristic peaks, and the line width of absorption bands. This information is critical for understanding the energy levels involved in the absorption process as well as the material's electronic structure. In this study, an equation connecting the absorption line width with the static dielectric function is derived for narrow and wide gap materials. It is then compared with the Penn model. It has been found that the constant in the Penn model has a value that is restricted to the range of 0.5 to 1. Application of this equation to various narrow and wide gap materials is then discussed.
