摘要: We present a phenomenological expression for the calculation of optical constants, refractive index, extinction coefficient, and absorption amorphous (a) semiconductors. Our proposed model requires four parameters, namely Eg (optical energy gap), Ec (high‐energy cutoff), D (nondirect‐transition strength), Γ (damping). The damping parameter is considered to reflect distribution electronic states rather than being consequence disorder broadening. Analyses are presented a‐Si, a‐Ge, a‐GaAs, results in satisfactory agreement with experimental data over entire range photon (1.5–6.0 eV).
