Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The optical and electronic properties of undoped La2Be2O5 single crystals were determined using low-temperature (T=10 K) far ultraviolet (4.9–33 eV) synchrotron radiation spectroscopy, optical absorption spectroscopy (T=80 and 320 K), and calculations for the dispersions of the optical functions. On the basis of the obtained data we determined the Urbach’s formula parameters and the cut-off energy Ec=5.49 eV at 80 K for the low-energy tail of the host absorption, the bandgap Eg=6.78 eV at 10 K, the energy threshold for the creation of unrelaxed excitons Eex=6.28 eV, and other electronic properties.
