Improved values of absorption coefficient, refractive index and extinction coefficient at {300\&\#xa0;K} are tabulated over the 0.25{\textendash}1.45\&\#xa0;μm wavelength range at 0.01\&\#xa0;μm intervals. The self-consistent tabulation was derived from {Kramers{\textendash}Kronig} analysis of updated reflectance data deduced from the literature. The inclusion of normalised temperature coefficients allows extrapolation over a wide temperature range, with accuracy similar to that of available experimental data demonstrated over the {-24\&\#xa0;{\textdegree}C} to {200\&\#xa0;{\textdegree}C} range.}, keywords = {Absorption coefficient, optical properties, SILICON SOLAR CELLS}, issn = {0927-0248}, doi = {10.1016/j.solmat.2008.06.009}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927024808002158}, author = {Martin A Green} }
