Abstract

Spectral-ellipsometric measurements by the Beatty method were made in the region from 1 eV to 4 eV at temperatures of 100, 293, and 700 K to determine the relation between the distinctive features of the optical absorption spectrum and the principal parameters of the electron energy spectrum in iron alloys with rare-earth elements. The fundamental bands of interband optical absorption of Fe2-R alloys (R=Gd, Ho, Er) in the region 2.8–3.1 eV are formed by indirect transitions from d-like states, which are genetically bound to 3d–5d electrons of the transition metal and the rare-earth metal, in a state above the Fermi level.
