About: Tauc plot

An Entity of Type: Product104007894, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A Tauc plot is used to determine the optical bandgap, or Tauc bandgap, of either disordered or amorphous semiconductors. In his original work Jan Tauc (/taʊts/) showed that the optical absorption spectrum of amorphous germanium resembles the spectrum of the indirect transitions in crystalline germanium (plus a tail due to localized states at lower energies), and proposed an extrapolation to find the optical bandgap of these crystalline-like states. Typically, a Tauc plot shows the quantity hν (the photon energy) on the abscissa (x-coordinate) and the quantity (αhν)1/2 on the ordinate (y-coordinate), where α is the absorption coefficient of the material. Thus, extrapolating this linear region to the abscissa yields the energy of the optical bandgap of the amorphous material.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Le diagramme de Tauc est un graphique communément utilisé pour déterminer le band gap optique d'un matériau - en général un semi-conducteur. Partant d'une mesure du coefficient d'absorption (noté en général ) en fonction de la longueur d'onde par spectroscopie UV-visible, la méthode consiste à représenter la quantité en fonction de l'énergie . La constante dépend de la nature du band gap, elle vaut 1/2 pour un band gap direct et 2 pour un band gap indirect. La valeur du gap est obtenue en extrapolant la partie linéaire de la courbe, à l'intersection de cette droite avec l'axe des abscisses. Le diagramme de Tauc est nommé d'après le physicien Jan Tauc qui a proposé cette méthode dans les années 1960 pour l'analyse de semiconducteurs amorphes. (fr)

Thus, extrapolating this linear region to the abscissa yields the energy of the optical bandgap of the amorphous material. A similar procedure is adopted to determine the optical bandgap of crystalline semiconductors. In this case, however, the ordinate is given by (α)1/r, in which the exponent 1/r denotes the nature of the transition:,, * r = 1/2 for direct allowed transitions * r = 3/2 for direct forbidden transitions. * r = 2 for indirect allowed transitions * r = 3 for indirect forbidden transitions Again, the resulting plot (quite often, incorrectly identified as a Tauc plot) has a distinct linear region that, extrapolated to the abscissa, yields the energy of the optical bandgap of the material.
