The optical and mechanical properties of TbSb

Abstract

A processes has been developed for growth of thin crystalline thin films TbSb by thermal evaporation using Tb and Sb separate sources and by discrate thermal evaporation of preliminary synthesized volume material TbSb. The room-temperature optical spectra reflectivity and absorption have been studied at photon energy 0.08–5 eV. Power dependences of the real and imaginary part of dielectrical permittivity, lost punction are calculated. By the method of the complete attrition mechanical strength of prepared films is defined. It is shown that mechanical strength of the films prepared by method of discrete evaporation is higher than durability of the films prepared by the evaporation method from two independent sources.
