Under sigma(+) polarization a sharp symmetric absorption line (full width at half-maximum 0.041 eV) emerges on the low energy side of the band-edge absorption, for magnetic field intensities greater than 6 T. The absorption line shows a huge red shift (35 meV T-1) with increasing magnetic field. The peak position of the absorption line as a function of magnetic field is dominated by the d-f exchange interaction of the excited electron and the Eu2+ spins in the lattice. The d-f exchange interaction energy was estimated to be J(df)S = 0.15 +/- 0.01 eV. In Pb0.1Eu0.9Te the same absorption lime is detected, but it is broader, due to alloy disorder, indicating that the excitation is localized within a finite radius. From a comparison of the absorption spectra in EuTe and Pb0.1Eu0.9Te the characteristic radius of the excitation is estimated to be similar to10 Angstrom. %8 Aug. %N 30 %T Sharp lines in the absorption edge of EuTe and Pb0.1Eu0.9Te in high magnetic fields %@secondarytype PRE PI %K SENSORS AND MATERIALS, Optical absorption, Magnetic fields, Europium, Chalcogenides, Artiferromagnetic EuTE, Photoluminescence, Transitions, SENSORES E MATERIAIS, Absorção ótica, Campos magnéticos, Anti ferromagnético, Fotoluminescência, Transição. %@visibility shown %@group %@group %@group %@group LAS-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LAS-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LAS-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE-11784-PRE/7143 %@copyholder SID/SCD %@issn 0953-8984 %2 sid.inpe.br/marciana/2004/12.08.14.39.42 %@affiliation Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto de Física (USP) %@affiliation Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto de Física (USP) %@affiliation Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto de Física (USP) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, Laboratório Associado de Sensores e Materiais, (INPE.
