Diffuse reflectance spectra of α -Ga2− x Fe x O3 with x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4. (a) The Kubelka–Munk function F ( R ), which is proportional to the absorption coefficient, converts from the relative diffuse reflectance spectra R . The downside arrows denote definition of the bandgap at the absorption edge E g (edge). The vertical lines show the position of two absorption peaks corresponding to the d-d transition of octahedrally coordinated Fe3+ ions. (b) Optical bandgap E g and E g (edge) as a function of Fe3+ content. Inset is the Tauc plot of ( F ( R )× hν )2 versus hν showing the definition of the E g. The solid lines guide the eyes.
