Abstract
Optical reflectivity spectra are measured for TiSi2, TaSi2, and WSi2 thin films in the spectral range from 0.05 to 6 eV. The optical constants are obtained by Kramers‐Kronig analysis. The spectra are characterized by two spectral regions: the low‐energy free‐carrier response and the interband part. The spectra are discussed on the basis of presently existing band structure information and bonding trend calculations.
