Abstract

The shape of the absorption edge in the semiconductor Bi2Te3 has been determined from transmission measurements on cleavage sections. The edge is of the form expected for indirect transitions, but an interpretation in terms of phonons characterized by a single energy is not applicable. A brief study of anisotropy effects is included.
