Formation of the Intrinsic Absorption Edge in Nanostructured Hafnium Dioxide Powder

Abstract

Diffuse reflectance spectra of nanostructured monoclinic HfO2 powder are measured at room temperature. The Kubelka–Munk formalism is used to analyze features of the intrinsic absorption edge. The observed spectral dependences are found to be formed with the participation of allowed band-to-band transitions of different types. Direct and indirect bandgap widths are estimated to be 5.61 and 5.31 eV, respectively.
