Abstract
AbstractOptical transmission spectra are collected in the ferromagnetic state of GdN at various temperatures. The temperature dependent extinction coefficient extracted from the transmission measurements show that the conduction and valence band states are spin polarized. The results confirm the LSDA+U estimates of the energy gap associated with the majority/minority-spins and also the magnitude of the spin splitting.
