Description

The optical properties of uranium sulphide single crystals have been determined for the first time. An excellent agreement is found between the structure in the optical spectrum and the results of a self-consistent cellular multiple scattering calculation. The results show that the 5f electrons form a resonance state at Esub(F) and that the 5f-6d coupling produces a dip in the 6d density of states near Esub(F) which is responsible for many peculiar properties of US.
