Optical spectroscopy and electronic structure of the face-centered icosahedral quasicrystals Zn-Mg-R(R=Y, Ho, Er)

Abstract: Results of optical spectroscopy studies of the face-centered icosahedral (fci) single-grain Zn-Mg-Y, Zn-Mg-Ho, and Zn-Mg-Er quasicrystals (QCs) are presented. The dielectric function of the QCs was measured in the 0.01-6 eV spectral range by IR-UV spectroscopic ellipsometry and far infrared reflection spectroscopy techniques. A theoretical scheme of optical conductivity calculations is extended to account for the Fermi level positions within and below a pseudogap. The model of the QC electron energy spectrum, … Show more

“…In the framework of the two‐band model, the general σijfalse(ωfalse) formula reduces to the form (see Refs. for details) rightσitalicij(ω)center=leftboldgGgigjg2e2g8π1dxS(x)K(x,z,b)x3x21, rightK(x,z,b)center=leftziπ[]1xfalse(z+ibfalse)+1x+false(z+ibfalse). Here, the dimensionless integration variable x corresponds to the energy difference between bands measured in the energy gap Δboldg units, x=false[ϵ2false(kfalse)ϵ1false(kfalse)false]/Δboldg, the z and b parameters correspond to the dimensionless photon energy, z=ω/Δboldg, and the broadening parameter, b=Γ/Δboldg. The Sfalse(xfalse) function presents an integral of the Fermi occupation factors over the boldk‐vector component perpendicular to boldg‐vector, …”
