Abstract
Absorption (K), reflection (R) and wavelength modulated transmission (ΔT/Δλ) spectra in SnS2 crystals of hexagonal phase (space group P63/mmc) were investigated in temperature interval from 300 to 10 K. It was established that indirect band gap ( - 2.403 eV) is due to unpolarized indirect transitions between Γ and M points of Brillouin zone. A minimal direct band gap ( - 2.623 eV) in E∣∣b polarization is formed by direct allowed transitions and in E⊥b polarization (2.698 eV) by forbidden transitions in Γ point of Brillouin zone. A magnitude of refractive index (n) changes from 3 to 4 and has a maximum at 2.6 eV. Optical functions (n, k, ε1 and ε2) in energy region E > Eg (3–6.5 eV) were calculated from measured reflection spectra by Kramers-Kronig analysis. Features observed in reflection and optical function spectra were assigned to electron transitions. This electron transitions were localized in framework of theoretically calculated band structure.
