Optical Constants of ZnO
Abstract
The complex dielectric functions, ε(E)=ε 1(E)+ i ε 2(E), of ZnO have been measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) in the photon-energy range between 1.5 and 5.0 eV at room temperature. The SE measurements are carried out on the surface parallel to the optic axis c, which allows the determination of the optical constants for light polarized perpendicular (E⊥c) and parallel to the c -axis (E//c). The measured SE spectra show the exciton peaks at ∼3.4 eV (E 0 edge). These ε(E) spectra are analyzed on the basis of a simplified model of the interband transitions. Excellent agreement is achieved between the calculated and experimental results over the entire range of photon energies. Dielectric-function-related optical constants, such as the complex refractive index n *(E)=n(E)+ i k(E), absorption coefficient α(E) and normal-incidence reflectivity R(E), of ZnO have also been reported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
