It is estimated that the energy gap E g equals 2.857 eV (Tϭ4.2 K) and the exciton binding energy Ry is 279 meV. A nontraditional temperature shift of E g (T) for layered substances is found for the first time. It is learned that this shift is described very well by the Varshni formula. A transition region in the temperature broadening of the half-width H(T) of the exciton band with increase of temperature is registered in the interval between 150 and 220 K. It is shown that this region may be identified as the heterophase structure region where ferroelastic and paraelastic phases coexist. A surge of H(T) at the point of the ferroelastic phase transition (T c ϭ220 K) is also observed.
