摘要：
We present the structural, optical properties, and electronic excitation spectra of the YbFe2O4 thin film deposited on (0001) sapphire substrates. The optical spectra of a YbFe2O4 thin film show several electronic transitions, dominated by Fe d to d on-site electronic transitions as well as O 2p to Fe 3d, Yb 6s, and Yb 5d charge-transfer electronic transitions. The direct energy band gap of YbFe2O4 has been found to be 1.40 +/- 0.01 eV at 300 K. Moreover, the electronic transitions centered at 1.75 eV and 2.41 eV exhibit strong temperature dependence with a discontinuity at similar to 190 +/- 10 K, indicating evidence for a structural instability in the system. The optical spectra of YbFe2O4 have been analyzed and also compared with that of isostructural YbFe2O4 and LuFe2O4.
