Optical absorption edge anomalies at superionic phase transition in Cu₆PSe₅Br crystals (download full version)

Kovács Gy.Sh., Studenyak I.P., Panko V.V., Mitrovcij V.V., Mykajlo O.A., Stefanovich V.O.

Temperature behaviour (77–320 K) of optical absorption edge in Cu₆PSe₅Br superionic crystals is studied. The spectral and temperature behaviour of the absorption edge is described by the Urbach rule. In the range of the first-order superionic phase transition the anomalous behaviour of the absorption edge parameters is revealed. The results of temperature isoabsorption studies are analyzed.

Keywords: Superionic conductor; phase transition; Urbach absorption edge.
