Abstract
The dielectric properties of the intermetallic cubic Laves phase compound YFe2 were determined by analyzing the low loss region of the EELS spectrum in a transmission electron microscope. From these data, the optical joint density of states (OJDS) was obtained by Kramers-Kronig analysis. Since maxima observed in the OJDS spectra are assigned to interband transitions; these spectra can be interpreted on the basis of numerical calculations performed with the Wien2k code, using the Fully-Linearized-Augmented-Plane wave (FLAPW) method within the Local-Spin-Density Approximation. Comparison between experimental results and theory shows good agreement.
