Abstract

The temperature dependence of the fundamental absorption edge in molybdates CaMoO4, SrMoO4, PbMoO4, Pb2MoO5, and MgMoO4 has been studied. The dependences are approximated using the Urbach formula. Parameter E0 obtained as a result of the approximation is shown can be used to estimate the energy gap width in the molybdates.
