Abstract
Experimental, experimental–calculated, and theoretical absorption, reflection, and E 2ε2(E) spectra of fluorite crystals were analyzed in the range 6–35 eV. General trends and characteristic features of the spectra were revealed, and the most reliable R(E) data were identified. The experimental–calculated α(E) and E 2ε2(E) data were shown to agree well with predictions of two theoretical models.
