Optical absorption of thin films of In2O3 obtained by spray pyrolysis was studied in the visible part of the spectrum, using a numerical procedure for extraction of different contributions in the absorption coefficient. One contribution from a direct forbidden (3.29 eV) and three indirect allowed transitions (2.09 eV, 3.42 eV and 3.58 eV) were identified. They were attributed to the transitions from the valence band to the two lowest minima in the conduction band separated from the valence band by gaps approximate to 2 eV and 3.3 eV large, in agreement with the results of ab intiio calculations done in Erhart et al ( 2007 Phys. Rev. B 75 153205). The fundamental absorption edge that has been observed at approximate to 4 eV in many earlier experimental works is attributed to the transitions Gamma(8)-Gamma(1), where Gamma(1) is the lowest minimum in the conduction band at Gamma point and Gamma(8) is a maximum substantially lower than the highest maximum in the valence band (Gamma(4)) (Walsh et al 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 167402). Therefore, the high conductivity of In2O3 is due to the generation of carriers by transitions from the valence band in the two lowest maxima of the conduction band, going along with a high transmission in the visible range, up to the photon energies of approximate to 4 eV, at which direct allowed transitions occur, leading to strong absorption.
