Direct band gaps in multiferroic h-LuFeO3
2015
We measured the optical properties of epitaxial thin films of the metastable hexagonal polymorph of LuFeO3 by absorption spectroscopy, magnetic circular dichroism, and photoconductivity. Comparison with complementary electronic structure calculations reveals a 1.1 eV direct gap involving hybridized Fe 3dz2+O 2pz→Fe d excitations at the Γ and A points, with a higher energy direct gap at 2.0 eV. Both charge gaps nicely overlap the solar spectrum.
