A remarkable dichroism between E//a and E//c is observed in the tail region. A defect-related absorption band is clarified for the polarization E//a. It is found that the Urbach rule holds for the absorption spectra measured with light polarized with E//c. The results of the analysis of the Urbach tail are discussed in comparison with the experimental results on the exciton transition and luminescence properties in this material., Article, physica status solidi (b). 247(9):2240-2243 (2010)}, pages = {2240--2243}, title = {Polarization dependence of the fundamental absorption edge and the Urbach rule in PbMoO4 crystals}, volume = {247}, year = {2010} }
