“…The nature of the band gap of b-FeSi 2 has been the topic of controversy for years. Both indirect and direct gaps with a large energy range of 0.4-1.0 eV have been reported in theoretical and experimental papers [6][7][8][9][10]. Recent work shows that b-FeSi 2 has an indirect gap of a few tens of milli-electron-volts less than the first direct transition of appreciable oscillator strength located at the Y point in the Brillouin zone [11][12][13][14].…”

“…Only few experimental results 15,16 seem to indicate the existence of an indirect transition. Photoluminescence emission, which indicates a direct gap transition, has been reported by a number of workers for ␤-FeSi 2 layers grown by a variety of techniques.…”

“…In the equation (1) Martineli et al [16] Ep(0) = 0.8052 eV, 600 and = 4.2 10 -4 eV/K also reported the same calculation by IBS sample. In our calculation we obtained that the Varshini's parameters are Ep(0) = 0.8085eV, 1.8 10 -4 eV/K and Their results reported very close similarity to our results obtained from 20-hr-annealed sample.…”

“…This band peak can be attributed to -FeSi 2 sample's originating and confirmed ever first time by PLD. The PL's at 0.84 eV ~0.89 eV and 0.77 eV~0.79 eV may be attributed to dislocation related lines [16]. Figure 4 shows the temperature dependence of the PL intensity of 20-hr-annealed sample.…”
