A high-quality Zn2TiO4 crystal was used as a prototype for determination of the optical interband transitions by measuring the absorption spectrum of the crystal along the a-axes at room temperature in the range of 200-1000 nm. Based on the theory of band-to-band transitions, the indirect energy gap and the phonon energy were determined as E-gi = 3.29 eV and E-p = 0.09 eV, respectively. Also, this phonon was just the vibrational mode at 721 cm(-1) in the Raman spectra, which participated in the indirect transitions of the Zn2TiO4. (C) 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
