Abstract

Cd3P2 and Cd3As2 are degenerate n-type semiconductors showing plasmon-phonon coupling. From infrared and far-infrared reflectivity measurements at 300 K, the dielectric function e(w) can be determined by means of Kramers-Kronig analysis. With a special numerical method the complex poles and zeros of ε(ω) can be calculated giving directly the T0-phonon and L0 coupled mode parameters. From a general factorised equation describing ε(ω) the static dielectric constant of the material can be determined. Some experimental results will be given and discussed.
