Abstract

AbstractThe optical energy gap of MoRe0.005Se1.995 single crystal has been measured at room temperature near the fundamental absorption method. The incident light was polarized along c‐axis of the crystals. Two and three dimensional models are adopted for generating the results. Direct as well as indirect transitions are involved in the absorption process. The indirect transition was found to be allowed with two phonons involved in the process. The three dimensional model could be used to describe the optical properties of the single crystal of MoRe0.005Se1.995. Also, the optical energy gaps depend upon the amount of the intercalating Re material, which show the anisotropy of the chemical bonds. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
