Abstract
The optical spectroscopy of layered and in particular of transition metal dichalcogenides is an interesting and stimulating subject which has played a major role in the recent developments of solid state physics. A detailed investigation of the optical structures due to interband transitions has been carried out by means of reflectance and thermoreflectance. Pure compounds and mixed systems have been studied in some detail. Among the latter ones, a particular attention has been devoted to Ti 1-x Hf x Se 2, which changes from semimetallic to semiconducting as a function of composition and shows an anomalous evolution of the energy position of its main spectral features versus lattice and other structural parameters. The effect of phase transitions like charge density waves on the optical response, and in particular on the plasma resonance, free carrier absorption, energy gap etc., is also studied and discussed.
