Abstract

Photoreflectance spectra obtained from epitaxial films of semiconducting Β-FeSi2 exhibit complex line shapes resulting from a variety of optical transitions. While we have previously established a direct gap at 0.934{plus or minus}0.002 eV at 75 K, we find an additional weak structure at a lower energy. We attribute the origin of this spectral feature to indirect transitions assisted by the emission of a phonon. From our analysis, we determine an indirect gap energy of 0.823{plus or minus}0.002 eV at 75 K.
