Abstract

Complex dielectric function for liquid Se-Tl mixtures has been obtained by ellipsometric measurements at temperatures between 300 and 500°C. The optical gap decreases rapidly with increasing Tl-concentration in the low concentration region less than 15 at.% Tl, while it remains nearly constant for higher concentrations up to 40 at.% Tl. A long-standing problem of the discrepancy between the activation energies of the electrical conductivity and thermopower can be resolved by considering the temperature dependence of the energy gap precisely.
