The effect of pressure on the optical-absorption edge of CdIn2S4, MgIn2S4, and MnIn2S4 thiospinels at room temperature is investigated up to 20 GPa. The pressure dependence of their band-gaps has been analyzed using the Urbach rule. We have found that, within the pressure-range of stability of the low-pressure spinel phase, the band-gap of CdIn2S4 and MgIn2S4 exhibits a linear blue-shift with pressure, whereas the band-gap of MnIn2S4 exhibits a pronounced non-linear shift. In addition, an abrupt decrease of the band-gap energies occurs in the three compounds at pressures of 10 GPa, 8.5 GPa, and 7.2 GPa, respectively. Beyond these pressures, the optical-absorption edge red-shifts upon compression for the three studied thiospinels. All these results are discussed in terms of the electronic structure of each compound and their reported structural changes.
In pursue of a systematic characterization of rare-earth vanadates under compression, in this work we present a multifaceted study of the phase behavior of zircon-type orthovanadate PrVO$_4$ under high pressure conditions, up until 24 GPa. We have fo
We have performed an experimental study of the crystal structure, lattice-dynamics, and optical properties of PbCrO4 (the mineral crocoite) at ambient and high pressures. In particular, the crystal structure, Raman-active phonons, and electronic band
We find that the optical properties of carbon nanotubes reflect remarkably strong effects of exciton-phonon coupling. Tight-binding calculations show that a significant fraction of the spectral weight of the absorption peak is transferred to a distin
We here report a detailed high-pressure infrared transmission study of BiTeCl and BiTeBr. We follow the evolution of two band transitions: the optical excitation $beta$ between two Rashba-split conduction bands, and the absorption $gamma$ across the
The pressure dependence of light-induced effects in single-crystalline BiFeO$_3$ is studied by optical spectroscopy. At low pressures, we observe three light-induced absorption features with energies just below the two crystal field excitations and t
