Abstract
Optical absorption in single crystals of tin monoselenide has been measured at room temperature with plane polarized light near the fundamental absorption edge. The electric field of the incident light was oriented parallel to the a- and b-crystallographic axes in the plane of cleavage. Results have been analyzed on basis of two- and three-dimensional models. Absorption near the fundamental edge was found to be due to indirect forbidden transition with two phonons involved in the process. The energy gap and phonon energies were found to be 0.948 eV and 54 and 21 meV for the a-axis and 0.902 eV and 41 and 20meV for the b-axis. The two-dimensional model gave results similar to those obtained from the three-dimensional model and could thus be used to describe the main optical properties of SnSe single crystal.
