Description

This experimental thesis uncovers the fundamental optical features of rare earth nitride compounds and relates them to their electronic structure. Experimental observations for the optical energy gaps for thin films of GdN, DyN, SmN and EuN are made for the first time. Thin films are grown by thermal evaporation in ultra high vacuum environment and are passivated by MgF₂ layers. Initial characterizations indicate the polycrystalline thin films of RENs are strongly textured along [111] directi...
