Complete Permittivity Tensor in Sputtered CuFe2O4 Thin Films at Photon Energies between 2 and 5 eV
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work is devoted to the systematic study of the optical and magneto-optical properties of sputter deposited CuFe₂O₄ thin films in the photon energy region between 2 and 5 eV using spectroscopic ellipsometry and magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy. The spectral dependence of both the diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the permittivity tensor is determined. A complete picture about the electron transitions in CuFe₂O₄ is suggested in the frame of intervalence charge transfer and intersublattice charge transfer transitions. The effect of deposition conditions and post-deposition treatment in CuFe₂O₄ films upon the optical and magneto-optical properties is discussed.

Thin films of binary Bi 0 -TeO and Bi 0 -V 0 systems were prepared by the thermal co-evaporation technique in a vacuum at room temperature. The optical absorption edge of these systems are studied in the wavelength of 200-800 nm using a PERKIN-ELMER uv/Vis spectrophotometer. It is found that the value of n=3/2 in the Davis-Mott equation is best fitted for the fundamental absorption edge f...
