Temperature Dependence of the Far-Infrared Reflectivity of Magnesium Stannide

R. Geick, W. J. Hakel, C. H. Perry


The reflectivity of pure samples of magnesium stannide has been measured in the infrared region from 50 to 370 cm-1 at temperatures from 100 to 600 °K. The reflection spectra have been analyzed by means of a fit with a classical dispersion formula including Drude terms for the free-carrier effects. At low temperatures the influence of the lattice dispersion on the reflectivity dominates, while at high temperatures the free-carrier effects dominate. The electrical properties of Mg2Sn in the intrinsic conduction range as determined from the reflectivity are in good agreement with the data obtained by Busch and Winkler from electrical measurements. © 1966 The American Physical Society.
