Optical properties of ZrZn2from 0.6 to 3.8 eV

Abstract
Reports ellipsometry measurements on ZrZn2 at room temperature under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The optical constants have been determined in the energy range 0.6-3.8 eV. The results are compared with calculated optical conductivity curves based on the recent band-structure calculation of de Groot et al. (1980). Peaks in the experimental optical conductivity at 0.92, 1.22 and 3.02 eV could be assigned to direct transitions, in agreement with the band model.
