The refractive, n, and absorption, k, indexes of six intermetallic PdIn compounds are measured in the spectral range of 0.248 to 17 pm by Beattie's polarimetric method, the indium concentration being 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, and 52 atyo. All the compounds are single crystals. It is shown that as the indium concentration increases from 42 to 52 atyo, the interband absorption peaks found a t 0.15 to 0.17, 0.6 to 0.7, 2.2 to 2.65, and 2.6 to 3.2 eV shift towards lower energies, while that at 4.6 eV does not change its position with temperature and indium concentration. Comparison of the high-frequency conductivity ~( w ) dispersion and the energy bands of equiatomic P'-PdIn shows that the interband absorption a t hw < 3 eV is caused by the electronic transitions from the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
