Abstract

A calculation has been performed which yields a good fit to the exponential absorption edge of Urbach's rule in ionic crystals. The major feature of this calculation is that its underlying physical mechanism offers a unified explanation of exponential absorption edges in all materials: ionic, covalent, and intermediate bonding crystals, as well as amorphous semiconductors.
